SUSTAINABLY GROWING MANITOBA’S $1.7 BILLION OPPORTUNITY
Manitoba’s pork industry contributes over $1.7 billion to our economy annually, helping to create economic stability for all Manitobans. Pork products – fresh, frozen and processed – are leading Manitoba exports. Over 13,000 Manitobans rely on the pork industry for jobs, including construction workers, veterinarians, environmental scientists, food production workers and transport drivers. The industry also provides sustainable opportunities for farmers and their families. As stewards of land and water, Manitoba farmers have become world leaders in soil and manure management technology, and take pride knowing that the carbon footprint per pound of pork has been reduced by 1/3 over the past five decades.
“As multi-generational farmers, my family and I depend on the land and water entrusted to us for our livelihood. I work hard to protect the environment for future generations.”
– Cal Penner, Calvern Farms Argyle, Manitoba
