1 Market Development and Investment Attraction Our mandate is to grow the rural economy of this province and we will do that by investing in agriculture.
2 Overview The Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture (NSDA) and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) entered into a five-year ( ) bilateral agreement to implement Growing Forward 2, the policy framework for agriculture. Under the Growing Forward 2 bilateral agreement, $37 million in federal and provincial funding will be invested over five years towards strategic initiative programming. Growing Forward 2 programs will focus on innovation, competitiveness and market development to ensure Canadian producers and processors have the tools and resources they need to continue to innovate and capitalize on emerging market opportunities. For more information on the Growing Forward 2 agreement visit Over the five years Growing Forward 2 and Homegrown Success programs will focus on three thematic areas: 1) Innovation 2) Competitiveness and Market Development 3) Adaptability and Industry Capacity With the strength of our partnership with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the funding for programming under Growing Forward 2, the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture is well- positioned to provide assistance for the tools needed to improve profitability and competitiveness in Nova Scotia. Program Overview The Market Development and Investment Attraction program is a three-year program commencing in fiscal year. The program is expected to support projects with sector-wide benefits. The objectives of this program are to encourage the agriculture, agri-food and seafood industries to expand their market share and foster economic growth through 1) accessing new and emerging markets; 2) retaining and expanding existing markets; and 3) developing and marketing value-added products that are globally competitive. The intent is to optimize and accelerate growth and development of the agriculture, agri-food industry and seafood industries. The ultimate objective of the program is to promote winning conditions within the provincial industry that are based on sound business case analysis and strategic priorities. The ability to enhance the domestic and international competitiveness of the overall sector through collaboration and partnering is an integral component of the Market Development and Investment Attraction program. The Market Development program will impact agriculture, agri-food and seafood industries through: Accelerated industry growth and development enabling access to new markets, improved market penetration and market share; Improved competitive positioning through more direct contact with customers and stakeholders or through enhanced effectiveness and efficiency of business activities; Increased added-value and market driven initiatives enabling increased sales and profitability; Enhanced industry partnerships and increased collaboration among and between sectors; Improved capacity to attract and retain investment; and Increased competitiveness and enhanced business opportunities for the agriculture and agri-food industries. 2
