Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz announced Wednesday, a $100,000 investment for the Canadian Seed Trade Association (CSTA), to encourage trade.
It’s a timely announcement because the Harper government recently made a trade deal with the European Union, the biggest trade agreement in history.
“Canada's seed and grain industry plays an important role in creating jobs, increasing trade and keeping our economy strong,” Minister Ritz said in a release.
