An Impact and Insight Study released by Economic Development Regina (EDR) finds there is a strong case for greater beef processing in Saskatchewan, Canada, through a plant in the Greater Regina Area.
The group said that even though Saskatchewan has Canada’s second-largest beef cow herd, less than 1% of cattle are processed locally.
“The study is a compelling case for establishing a federally inspected beef processing facility in Regina to keep more value here at home,” said Colin Savage, EDR’s director of economics & data analytics.
The study estimated that a new facility would generate $168 million in economic output, $76 million in gross domestic product and create 723 full-time jobs.
