Funding Supports Local Businesses

A partnership between the provincial and federal governments will support local Oxford County businesses.

OXFORD COUNTY - The provincial and federal governments are supporting local agri-food businesses.

The funding comes through the Market Diversification and Trade Resiliency Initiative and is meant to help farmers and food processors produce and sell more Ontario-grown products worldwide. Tillsonburg Custom Foods and Jakeman's Maple Products are the two Oxford County businesses receiving funding. Oxford County MPP Ernie Hardeman shares his thoughts about the funding.

"By funding these projects in Oxford, we are driving economic growth in the region. I look forward to the positive ripple effects this will have throughout our local communities."

Tillsonburg Custom Foods will get up to $12,500 to expand its US market through regulatory compliance and supply chain development. Jakeman's Maple Products will receive up to $11,749 to expand its maple butter production for new markets.

Approved projects are to be completed by October 15th, 2027.
