               WID LAND IS HOME TO NEW PLANT PROTEIN FACILITY IN STRATHMORE

​

                                                             The WID is pleased to be a part of an agreement for

                                                             Phyto Organix Foods to develop a plant-protein processing

                                                             facility in Strathmore, announced May 24, 2022.

​

                                                             Located on 15 acres of land from the WID, Phyto will construct

                                                             a net-zero facility at a cost of $225 million total, expected to be

                                                             operational by 2024.

​

                                                             A trail-blazing, Alberta-owned plant protein-based company,

                                                             Phyto Organix projects to generate $120 million annually to the

                                                             province’s GDP by processing 40,000 metric tonnes of locally

                                                             grown yellow peas.

​

“We’re very excited to see this investment being made in our community,” said Sean Mascaluk, WID General Manger. “Phyto will provide much-needed processing capabilities to producers in the area, including some of our irrigators.”
