The agri-food industry in Chaudière-Appalaches is based on dairy, pork, beef and poultry productions. You’ll be amazed to find bison, elk, red deer, sheep, rabbits, goats and other livestock here too. This is also a region where sugar bush abounds, and you’ll discover orchards, market garden operations and plant nurseries here too. An excellent area for added value, it has over one hundred small and medium-size businesses.
