Agribusinesses
Industrial land for Agribusinesses
Proximity and cost make Calgary the best place to do (agri)business.
Overview
The City of Calgary has prime industrial property for sale in strategic locations, perfect for agricultural business.
Based in Canada’s farming and ranching belt, Calgary has a long history with agribusiness. Because of this, Calgary has a built-in workforce with specialized skills and a multitude of distribution channels designed to fit the sector. With two intermodal rail terminals, an expanded international airport, and several major highways, we’re one of Western Canada’s biggest inland ports and a designated Foreign Trade Zone. In addition to regional connectivity and service efficiency, low taxes and lower average wage rates for entry-level workers attract agribusiness to Calgary.
