Ontario Researchers: Ontario

Jim Brandle Dept: But some Ontario researchers are trying to convince local farmers that growing unorthodox fruits and vegetables can be a flourishing investment, according to CBC. Every year, Canada attracts about 200,000 newcomers, and Ontario sees about half of those immigrants, Brandle said and finding fresh exotic produce in Windsor may be a tall order for many immigrants. "Farmers are businessmen, so they understand the economic opportunity and they get that there is a demographic shift in the population and there's new customers," said Jim Brandle, CEO of Vineland Research and Innovation Centre in Vineland Station, Ont.
