SOFII PROJECT SUMMARY
The support NOD Apiary Products received through the SOFII program allowed our company to immediately expand our capacity to serve additional off-shore markets with our honey bee protection products. We now have market access to 17 countries in Europe and New Zealand, as well as in Canada and the US. Several new permanent positions have been created here in Quinte West as a result, and more will come as we continue to expand.
