In Ontario, more than 12 million square metres of land are dedicated to greenhouse agriculture, with almost half (49.5 per cent) in Essex County – making it Canada’s largest greenhouse growing area.

"Essex County is experiencing solid growth in the greenhouse sector," said Karl McLaren, Manager, Agriculture, BMO Bank of Montreal. "Between 2006 and 2011, there was a 13.1 per cent increase in the amount of land used for greenhouse production, currently occupying more than 6 million square metres."

Mr. McLaren added that BMO’s commitment to make $10 billion in credit available for businesses across Canada can make a big difference to companies investing in Essex, particularly in the greenhouse industry.

BMO’s roots in the Canadian agricultural sector date back to 1817, when the Bank first began working with farmers to support and expand the agricultural industry, which has become a key driver of Canada’s economy. Today, BMO provides customized loan, deposit, cash management and card payment solutions to Canada’s agri-business owners, the single largest core commercial sector that the bank serves.
