“Hendrick Agri-Foods Inc. and Hendrick Seeds Inc. (Murray River) Project: Commercialization of Genomics Based Oilseeds Hendrick Agri-Foods Inc. and Hendrick Seeds Inc. will employ advanced scientific techniques to identify genetic markers in soybeans. These markers will be used to develop non-genetically modified (non-GMO) soybeans varieties that will improve quality and yield when grown in the Atlantic Canadian climate and have nutritional benefits that target demand in Europe and Japan. This project, with total estimated costs of $5 million, will receive approximately $2.7 million from the Atlantic Innovation Fund over a five- year period.”
