WINNIPEG - The Manitoba government is putting up $13 million for a centre aimed at helping grain producers find new international trading partners.
Cereals Canada, a national industry group, announced plans last year for a new $100-million facility in downtown Winnipeg called the Global Agriculture Technology Exchange.
Premier Wab Kinew says the centre will help showcase Manitoba’s grains and drive up global demand for ´ºÉ«Ö±²¥ products.
He says it will also protect jobs at a time when agriculture is facing a trade war on two fronts, with tariffs from the United States and China.
Kinew says the province is likely to put up more money, and he'd be open to covering a third of the final cost if the federal government gets involved as well.
The building is to include space for offices, training and research.
