Agriculture and Agri-Food at the Heart of the Region
Agriculture Across the Region
Agriculture plays a major role in the Pierre-De Saurel RCM. With 54,163 hectares of agricultural land, representing 91% of the territory, the region provides a favourable environment for a wide variety of agricultural production.
The region’s 285 agricultural businesses generate more than $191 million in gross farm revenues, demonstrating the sector’s economic importance and its contribution to regional development.
Traditional agricultural production is complemented by a range of diversified and specialized products, including berries, herbs, asparagus, maple products, honey and lamb. Food processing and artisanal products also contribute to the region’s diverse agri-food offering. This diversity also supports the development of agritourism and culinary tourism, showcasing local agricultural businesses, producers and regional products.
