The United Kingdom’s largest bakery brand has contributed $650,000 to a Cereals Canada facility that will be built in Winnipeg’s Exchange District.
Warburtons announced on Thursday its contribution to the capital campaign for the Global Agriculture Technology Exchange. Referred to as “Gate” for short, the facility will help grain producers and processors bolster their international profiles and find new trading partners in response to U.S. tariffs and protectionism.
The U.K. brand sources “significant volumes” of Canadian wheat from Western Canada and has been working with Canadian farmers and Cereals Canada for many years, campaign chair JoAnne Buth said in a news release.

Various cereal grains on display at the Cereals Canada lab. United Kingdom bakery brand Warburtons has contributed $650,000 to a new Cereals Canada facility planned for Winnipeg’s Exchange District.
Warburtons employees utilize Cereals Canada’s pilot bakery, mill and lab to test and analyze Canadian wheat before it goes to the U.K. for production.
To date, the Gate capital campaign has raised $32 million toward its goal of approximately $100 million.
The campaign is targeting contributions from industry groups, agribusinesses and individuals, and support from the three levels of government.
