canadian moneyA Growing Forward 2 investment of over $72,000 will see the Northern Ontario Aquaculture Association (NOAA) expand the export of freshwater rainbow trout to new markets.

NOAA will use an investment from GF2 to assist the freshwater rainbow trout agri-food sector to promote their high value products to the fish and seafood value chain.

In addition, NOAA will provide training sessions to educate stakeholders on export requirements including packaging and labeling requirements, different cultural and business practices, documentation requirements for regulatory, legal and tax implications, and other critical information.

Since the start of the GF2 program in 2013, the AAC board of directors has approved 237 projects totaling $22.62 million. To see the list of approved GF2 projects for Ontario organizations and collaborations, click here.

GF2 is a federal-provincial-territorial initiative.
