Some area farmers and agri-food businesses are receiving provincial support to help improve their business operations and bring more safe, high-quality foods to various markets.

MPP Vic Fedeli announced five projects will see investments of up to $50,000.

He says the new partnership will go a long way in helping the local agricultural sector recover from the impacts of COVID-19.

670 projects across Ontario are receiving funding.

Some improvements include enhanced traceability systems, upgraded animal-handling equipment, and strengthened bio-security measures.
