Dan Sciascetti, a garlic farmer and experienced mechanical design draftsman, will receive up to $8,100 from the program to devel- op a processing system with the airn of supplying peeled, bottled garlic to the supermarket and res- taurant trade. "Peeled garlic is a relatively new market . with an enormous potential for growth," said Sciascetti, who operates his garlic business under the name Simalie Inc. Most processed garlic is import- ed from the United States. Howev- er, the supply of Ontario -grown garlic is increasing and opportuni- ties for processing exist. "I want to give local growers an- other avenue to sell .their garlic," said Sciascetti. The Tobacco Diversification Program is administered by an eight -member committee of local community business people and government representatives. The program is open to all indi- viduals and organizations in the tra- ditional tobacco -growing regions of Ontario. Applicants can receive up to $250,000 to fund a portion of their costs for eligible projects re- lated to marketing, innovative pro- duction and processing, and organi- sational and human resource development. Since details of the program were announced in May 1994, $2.1 million has been ap- proved for use in 32 projects.
