Use Our Agri Strategy to Your Advantage

Grey Bruce regional economic development stakeholders are interested in further developing the value-added agricultural sector. The top opportunities adapted from the Agri Value Added Strategy for Grey Bruce include:

1. Bio-products: Using newly developing technologies to leverage the abundance of raw materials to produce a renewable energy resource.
2. Agri-tourism: Using a coordinated approach with the existing tourism businesses to attract more tourists to the region.
3. Farm gate value-added products: Selling traditional furniture and a variety of food products.
4. Provincial meat and poultry processing: Permitting the value-added processing to be kept locally.
5. Value-added services to farms: Providing opportunities to service local producers. Services include trades, mechanical repairs, small-scale processing and packaging of farm products.
6. Commercial Aquaculture: Developing fish farm operations instead of open-sea fishing.
7. Grains and Derivatives: Developing value-added processing for the gluten-free food market by establishing an oil producing crushing plant.
