The Agropur dairy operation near Sussex will close by the end of 2028, the company confirmed Thursday.
This will also be the case for the Agropur ingredients plant in Truro, N.S.
The closure is part of a project announced to transform the Bedford, N.S., plant — doubling dairy-ingredient and butter-processing capacity in the region — and modernize operations at the Miramichi plant, increasing dairy-processing capacity by 50 per cent.
A spokesperson for Agropur confirmed that this will mean potentially 60 jobs lost in the Sussex area and 30 potential job losses in Truro. The change will see a combined 45 jobs added to the two other plants — 30 in Bedford and 15 in Miramichi.
