Nova Scotia Agriculture Minister Keith Colwell says that when it comes to potential for the province’s largest agricultural export, there’s still plenty of juice waiting to be squeezed.
In an effort to encourage more growth in the wild blueberry industry, Colwell has announced $650,000 for research and development projects, including improved packaging, to be used over the next three years.
The minister also announced two years of funding worth a total of $280,000 for the Wild Blueberry Solutions Challenge, which is intended to encourage the development of value-added products by Nova Scotia companies.
