We, at the BC Fruit Growers’ Association, are pleased to share that we had a productive meeting with the Premier’s Office Staff and Minister Alexis this afternoon. This meeting served as a platform for us to voice the current challenges faced by our growers and propose potential solutions.
We had an open and constructive dialogue, where we were able to share our insights and experiences directly with the government. Our discussions revolved around the pressing issues that our growers are currently grappling with, and we presented a range of potential solutions that could alleviate these problems.
We are hopeful that our concerns and suggestions have been heard as the industry faces this crisis. We believe that this meeting marks a significant step towards a collaborative approach in addressing the challenges in our industry. We are optimistic that together with the government, we can pave a path forward that supports the growth and sustainability of our growers.
We look forward to continuing this dialogue and working closely with the government to ensure a prosperous future for the BC fruit growing industry. We will continue to engage with government over the next several days and are hopeful that a solution for immediate assistance and a plan for long term stability can be found. Without immediate assistance, there will be no tree fruit industry to save.
