âThe additional capacity in extrusion technology will support commercialization of Saskatchewan-grown crops in many innovative food products, specifically the plant-based protein market,â Prefontaine said. âOur new incubation suites will continue to support the growth of agri-businesses by providing options for entrepreneurs and start-up companies in the agri-food sector.â
Saskatchewan Agriculture minister David Marit said demand for the centre continues to grow. He said it particularly helpful to smaller food processing companies.
âDan Prefontaine and his team are just doing an amazing job in helping young entrepreneurs develop new foods, new products, and get them into the commercial market, and work with them,â Marit said. âI met some young entrepreneurs that are developing product there and it is incredible what they are doing and what the food center is helping them to do.â
