Grain foods promoted to boost health and economy
Canada Wheat Board chair Ken Ritter urges federal support for the Canada Food Guide grain servings and a push by industry groups to promote wheat and barley. The effort aims to raise domestic demand, expand value-added processing, and grow milling capacity in Western Canada, with U S parallels cited. The CWB notes rising exports and malt capacity while urging education campaigns and the 1 800 numbers for contact.
