Potato company in Alberta expanding to produce more ready-to-cook spuds
A company has qualified for Alberta’s Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit program by building a new facility to produce ready-to-cook spuds.
The Little Potato Company is building a new $39.5 million project in the hamlet of Nisku. The goal is to double its processing capacity and produce more packaged potatoes with seasonings that can be quickly roasted, microwaved or grilled.
RJ Sigurdson, Alberta’s Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation said, “Our government developed Alberta’s Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit program with corporations like The Little Potato Company in mind. The program is providing the right conditions for food and ag processors to invest in our province, grow their business and create more jobs for Albertans.”
He added, “Through incentives like this tax credit, we’re building on Alberta’s competitive advantages and continuing to drive economic growth and diversification.”
