Manitoba’s economy is getting a boost from the Buy Manitoba campaign, as sales of products grown or processed in Manitoba are on the rise.
Manitobans looking to serve up and enjoy more locally produced, processed and fresh foods will have an easier time finding them on store shelves at Canada Safeway stores as the retail food chain implements new signs and shelf markers.
The Manitoba government is providing $742,100 for a two-year campaign to raise the profile of Manitoba products for consumers, Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives Minister Stan Struthers announced.
