Québec offers a highly competitive business environment for agri-food companies. Generous R&D tax incentives help significantly reduce costs, while close collaboration with public and private research centres supports the development of innovative products and processes.
Companies also benefit from reliable access to high-quality inputs, including abundant water and renewable hydropower, as well as low operating costs. In fact, the food processing sector enjoys a cost advantage of approximately 12% compared to leading U.S. states and Canadian provinces.
