MONTRÉAL – The Agropur dairy co-operative is set to invest nearly $1 billion to expand operations at two facilities in Quebec and Nova Scotia amid strong demand for protein-enriched foods.
The co-operative says the money will double milk processing capacity at its plant in Beauceville, Que., southeast of Quebec City and create about 60 jobs.
Agropur CEO Émile Cordeau says the co-operative wants to completely renovate the Quebec plant and install new technology.
Its plant in the Halifax area, which specializes in fluid milk, will be expanded to produce dairy proteins, creating nearly 30 jobs.
Financial help will be available for the projects from the Quebec and Nova Scotia governments.
Cordeau says there are still some details to iron out and the final approval for the co-operative’s plans are expected by the end of the year.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 24, 2026.
Note to readers:This is a corrected story. A previous version reported that the governments of Quebec and Nova Scotia have contributed financially to the projects. In fact, Nova Scotia hasn’t provided direct financial help, but it says Agropur is eligible to claim a tax credit for the project in the province.
