Top Canadian Agriculture Grants for the Food and Beverage Industry

Canadian agricultural businesses can access a wide range of funding to offset the cost of strategic growth, capital investments, and innovation projects. With many agri-businesses operating from coast to coast, the federal and provincial governments provide targeted grants and loans to fuel business development and diversification. As a result, companies can access thousands to millions of dollars to carry out agricultural projects that create strong, sustainable growth opportunities.

Government grants and loans for agriculture can support workforce development, technology adoption, research, innovation, and export market expansion.

Canadian farm and food processing businesses are a primary demographic that benefit from accessing many of the topgovernment funding programs available. In addition to the vast number of programs that exist, one of the biggest benefits of government funding for agricultural advancement is how flexible funding is to support a wide variety of projects.

Government Funding for Agriculture and Agri-Food

While it’s possible to access funding programs on a project-by-project basis, we recommend incorporating grants and loans as part of your overall growth strategy. To do this, we recommend that all manufacturers take time to construct a government funding plan.

Government funding plans offer a proactive approach that outlines all upcoming strategic project expenses, then matches them with funding programs to optimize funding potential.

Please use our Contact Form to speak with a Government Funding Planner; they have the resources to support your funding discovery and application.

We would like to either raise the roof or demo and build new with higher ceilings. The reason we are doing this is so we can contain our manure under cover until we apply it to the fields and so that we can have easier access to handle the cattle during calving and for other handling purposes. We are looking for grants/loans that might bee available for this project.

As of lately we have been receiving grate pressures from the municipality with the storage trailers we have on site (4) .

Are there any possible grants that may assist us in remaining were we are and building addition ?

    Any help would be very much appreciated , thank you in advance.

    Peter

    1. Hi Peter, thanks for your question. This is an interesting growth opportunity for your business, and there may be funding programs to help support your facility expansion.

      The first program that comes to mind is the Southwestern/Eastern Ontario Development Fund, which is typically what we’d recommend our clients to explore. However, although the fund supports facility expansion and technology adoption, it requires the funding recipient to hire 10+ employees by the end of the project.

      Alternately, there could be support available through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) Producer or Processor program, although we’re currently waiting for a new cycle of funding to be released before we fully understand what types of projects are being considered for funding.

      I’d like you to connect with one of my colleagues who can talk to you about your expansion and learn the scope of your project. That’ll make it easier for us to tailor results towards your budget, timelines, and expected results. Please allow for 1-2 business days and we’ll be in contact by email. Thanks!

  10. Hello,
    I am looking into buying a piece of land and starting a bee farm in Eastern Ontario region. I plan on taking a few courses to help me get up to speed with things.
    I am wondering if there are any grants or bursaries for a bee farm startup. For helping to purchase land, get equipment, get started essentially. Also I am just over 40 now and realise that I just missed out on the young farmers grant, sadly.
    Any help and info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Nicole.

    1. Hi Nicole, unfortunately, government funding programs are generally provided to support established, growing businesses. To qualify for many top federal and provincial supports, your business should be incorporated, employ a minimum of three employees, and show a minimum two years of profitable operations. You may wish to learn more about the Canadian Small Business Financing Program (CSBFP) which helps entrepreneurs qualify for bank and credit union loans. These more typical financial products may be a good approach to take instead of diving into the grants/loans space.

  11. Hello I’m currently working on a business plan to manufacture, distribute and sell vegan frozen food entrées to grocers across Canada. Is there some help for startup for this type of industry?

In fact, we’ve created a list of some of the top Startup Resources (click to see the list) that entrepreneurs like yourself should explore to help with financing, business strategy, and mentorship in this critical stage of your business’ development.

  16. Hello
    I have been living in Canada for the past 25 years, born and raised in Pakistan, a country with 25 Million populations.
    I am very interested to start a hydroponic or Aquaponic farming in Pakistan, although Pakistan is an agriculture country, but due to traditional farming practices, they are not producing enough with their land compared to revolutionary hydroponic farming.
    Globally there is a huge shortage of water, unfortunately the traditional method of farming in Pakistan takes tons of water compared to Hydroponic, which is widely acceptable due to yield and being organic.
    I, need to know what resources available in Canada to help developing country with Canadian technology in smart farming, or is there any non profit organization that works with us towards this.
    Warm regards
    Mohammad Aslam

    1. Hi Mohammad – You mentioned that your aquaponics farm would be located in Pakistan.

  25. Hello… I am an asparagus producer employing 40 people for an 8 week period every year to harvest and grade my crop. The chain stores have been tightening up their grading specs the past few years causing it almost impossible to grade for their specs by the human eye. Laser grading machines are coming on stream in Europe but the cost is very prohibitive for my 70 acres of asparagus. Obtaining one would allow me to achieve their grading specs. It would also allow me into the US market and cut down on costs. Is there anyGov’t funding available for such an automated piece of machinery?
