Quebec is known for its vibrant agricultural and agri-food industries, which play a key role in both the province’s economy and the global market. While French is the primary language in Quebec, English-speaking workers are increasingly finding opportunities within these industries. As the demand for agricultural workers continues to rise, Ferme Marche-EB, located in Laval, Quebec, is actively looking to hire skilled, English-speaking individuals to join our growing team.
The Role of Agriculture in Quebec
Agriculture is one of the cornerstones of Quebec’s economy. From dairy farming and poultry production to fruit and vegetable cultivation, the province’s vast agricultural landscape offers diverse job opportunities. The agri-food industry in Quebec generates significant employment, not only on farms but also in food processing, packaging, and distribution. English-speaking workers can find various positions within these sectors, particularly in farms like Ferme Marche-EB, which embrace a bilingual workforce.
Why English-Speaking Workers are in Demand
In recent years, Quebec’s agricultural industry has seen a growing need for workers who speak English, especially as more farms and agricultural businesses expand their services to meet global demands. English-speaking employees bring a unique skill set that enhances communication with international clients, suppliers, and other non-French-speaking partners.
Moreover, many farms in Quebec, including Ferme Marche-EB, are keen to foster a more inclusive and diverse work environment. This creates opportunities for English-speaking workers to thrive in various roles, from field labor and equipment operation to management positions.
