The world’s largest fruit farm, the world’s largest producer of frozen french fries, the world’s largest supplier of frozen wild blueberries, North America’s largest carrot processor, the very first candy bar manufacturer, and so on… These are some of the intriguing facts about the agriculture and agri-food industry in Atlantic Canada.
Atlantic Canada is home to a vibrant agriculture and agri-food industry that benefits from the region’s strategic location and year-round transportation links to major international markets. Home to manufacturers of everything from maple sugar products and molasses to crystal-clear bottled iceberg water and one of the most popular beers ever to reach United States consumers – Moosehead, the industry is in tune with consumer trends and uses new technologies to achieve its competitive advantage.
The region is also the wild blueberry capital of the world. Processing these blueberries into Kosher-certified wine is just one example of the value-added approach taken by Atlantic Canada’s agriculture and agri-food industry.
