Box 562 e Whitby @ 666-1222 Stokely ishelping Whitby to feed a hungry world In order to exist, man must eat. This obvious fact has been the cornerstone of one of the greatest industrial concerns known agriculture. With the development of high technology in the 2th century the agriculture in- dustry has branched out. In fact, food processing has reflected these changes. Since 1940, Whitby has been the home of Stokely Van Camp, a, company whose canned vegetables and fruits can be purchased at almost every super- market in North America. According to the com- pany's Canadian vice- president Anidy Paterson, the United States based food processor's gross annual sales represent close to $520 million and are growing every year. The Whitby plant is one of the company's two facilities in Canada, the other being located in Berwick, Nova Scotia. The Brock Street North plant employs 100 people year round with that number rising to 220 during the summer months. Not only are the products processed and canned here but most of the raw materials are purchased from local farmers. "Almost 90 per cent of it is grown locally," Paterson said adding that most of Stokely's farmer-suppliers are located on the area stretching from Pickering to Bowmanville and north to Brooklin. Most of the farmers that supply the plant are in- dependents. The company's traditional marketing area is from Vic- toria, British Columbia, to St. Johns, Newfoundland, however, this plant is producing goods for the European market. The Whitby operation started producing goods for European markets in 1976 when $115,000 worth were sold. Paterson said that in 1980 this figure rose to $750,000 and this year is expected to reach $1 million. According to Paterson, the future potential of the com- pany looks good in Whitby especially with the in- creased prospect of European markets, most notably in the United Kingdom and West Ger- many.
