The Social and Economic Value of Agri Business to Ontario

as the focal point for economic activity, and the rural community. The crop input, grain and feed industry serves as the
employer for over 8,000 Ontario residents throughout rural communities. Annual industry payroll exceeds $250 million.
- Economic Activity & Investment - The crop input, grain and feed industry provides value added products and services for the production of safe, high quality food products. In serving the 'downstream' marketplace, the agri business sector is an integral link in Ontario's value added food and fibre supply chain. In order to meet the needs of a competitive domestic and global marketplace, the agri business sector consistently makes a significant investment in physical infrastructure, new technologies and human resources.
