Is there a U.S. export opportunity for the Ontario ethnic food processor?
Unquestionably, there is an opportunity for the Ontario-based processor of certain ethnic-origin foods and this has been derived as follows: By numbers, the Hispanics are the fastest growing ethnic group in the U.S. Ontario has neither recognized Hispanic population strength nor a particular cache with respect to Hispanic foods By percentage growth, Chinese, South-East Asian and Indian ethnic groups are growing the fastest and this growth is concentrated in the North-eastern U.S. This same wealth demographic applies to Ontario. High quality, authentic foods will find a more ready market with such demographics.
