The KACC member page is a great place to get to know who else is a member of the Chamber, just like you, and to learn more about them.
The page is also a great place to gain more knowledge and pass on some of your own onto others.
The Facebook page is private, meaning if you do intend to join than make sure you send a request with your personal account in order to be let in.

Making the Connection: Helping Atlantic Canadian Companies Diversify Export Sales |
The Europe Market Development Program (EMDP) is a powerful advisory and consultation program that is helping Atlantic Canada exporters expand their presence and grow sales in new industry sectors and countries in Europe.
EMDP leverages new opportunities offered under Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which provides preferential access to export opportunities and economic growth.
The Asia Market Development Program (AMDP) is a powerful advisory and consultation program that is helping Atlantic Canada exporters expand their presence and grow sales in new industry sectors and countries in Asia.
The AMDP provides exporters with the in-market expertise and network to quickly identify opportunity and connect with qualified customers. Your company will work with a professional trade development consultant, based in Asia, to design a market-entry or market expansion strategy specifically for you.
In a matter of months, you can go from wondering where to begin developing sales in Asia, to meeting with potential customers or sales agents. If you have considered exploring new sales to Japan, South Korea, or any of the 10 ASEAN nations, the AMDP will leverage your resources with market information and strategies for establishing new business relationships in the identified Asian countries.

Monaghan Farms is a product of a long line of potato farmers, six generations and counting.
We have a rich history of potato farming in the Curley family. Over the years, the potato acreage grew and in 1982 Monaghan Farms started selling potatoes in the processing market. In the past, Monaghan Farms has grown potatoes for Frito Lay, McCains, Cavendish Farms and Humpty Dumpty. Today we grow only chip potatoes for Frito Lay.
In collaboration with local growers, we supply product to Frito Lay plants in Canada, the US, South East Asia, Central America, South America and the Carribean. Monaghan Farms and West Isle Enterprises have been successful in shipping potatoes and have them arrive at the various plants well within the quality grade. We are now one of the largest suppliers for Frito Lay in terms of raw product for export. Website
