GATINEAU — An investment of up to $1,548,800 will be provided to La Trappe à Fromage de l’Outaouais for increasing production capacity and productivity.
This investment, under the Supply Management Processing Investment Fund, will help La Trappe à Fromage de l’Outaouais purchase and install automated equipment to enhance its cheese manufacturing and packaging processes. This expansion project is expected to increase processing capacity at the Gatineau plant. It will also support the company’s competitiveness and enable it to diversify its product offering.
The Fund is part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to support processors in these sectors to address the impacts of recent international trade agreements.
“Canada’s supply management system contributes to the viability of family farms and is the backbone of rural communities here in Quebec and across the country,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “The investment announced today for La Trappe à Fromage de l’Outaouais will allow them to process more milk from local producers so they continue to make cheeses that are the pride of the region.”
