Food Processors See Opportunity In Local Food Movement

Another Ontario group sees potential from the local food movement and the call for more 'Made In Ontario' food products in public institutions.

This time it's Food and Beverage Ontario - the group representing more than 3 thousand food and beverage processors in the province.

FBO recently held a workshop in Mississauga to look at ways for it's members to tap into what it sees as the multi-million dollar market potential in that sector.

Executive Director Steve Peters says there's tremendous opportunities for more local processed food in what's called the Broader Public Sector.

That workshop encouraged the development of business partnerships between food providers and public sector food buyers.
