Innovative Risk Management Program for Ontario

“The governments of Canada and Ontario are helping the province’s greenhouse industry meet consumer demand for high quality floral products by supporting an innovative, private sector risk management fund. 

The industry-designed Green CHIP fund will provide compensation for lost product and business interruption in the event of a quarantine ordered by the Canada Food Inspection Agency. Flowers Canada Growers Inc. will manage the fund, which will help growers market a consistent, high quality product while managing their unique business management risks.

Federal and provincial funding for the Green CHIP project is provided through AgriRisk Initiatives under Growing Forward 2, which supports the research, development, and implementation of new risk management tools for use in the agriculture sector”.
