Agri-Businesses Focusing on Local Markets

Atlantic Canada’s agricultural industry will need to focus on local markets in order to succeed in the future, according to a new report by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. Report author Erin McGrath-Gaudet says the key to future growth lies in marketing goods within their local area.

She says Atlantic agri-businesses are also looking towards new niche markets that may attract a higher return-- such as crops for biofuels, organic crops and livestock.
