Cargill awarded $3M for upgrades

FROM HERALD NEWS SERVICES DECEMBER 21, 2010

Agriculture - The Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency is providing
Cargill Meat Solutions with a $3 million grant toward the $42 million
upgrade at its High River plant.

The operational efficiencies will help meet changing requirements for
export shipping, the agency said in a release, with the potential for
Cargill to triple its beef exports to Asia.

The grant, from the federal-provincial growing forward program, will
be distributed over two years.

Gordon Cove, CEO of the Alberta Meat and Livestock Agency, said the
grant helps increase the province's competitiveness in global markets.
The growing forward program is to invest $273 million between 2009 and
2013 into Alberta's agriculture industry.
