Whether you are a farmer, business owner, budding entrepreneur or community leader, the staff at the Roblin Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives (MAFRI) GO Centre will provide you with a wide variety of expert, objective information and resources on agriculture, business and community development and value-added initiatives. MAFRI has moved from an agriculture-only mandate to one that includes food and rural initiatives and works towards the goal of creating vibrant and sustainable rural communities. Local, national and global changes in the agri-food sector have called for a new way of sustaining rural and agricultural communities. The department has equipped itself with the tools necessary to help clients embrace new opportunities in primary production, business development, value-added processing, agri-energy, agri-forestry, agri-fibre and agri-tourism.
MAFRI can provide you with information on:
- Developing, expanding or diversifying your business
- Farm production advice
- Value-added or agri-food business start-ups
- Community development and youth programming
... and that is just the beginning.
