FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EDMONTON, ALBERTA, 14 November 2023 – In an exciting new collaboration, Omega Fruit Co., a leading name in organic sea buckthorn products supply, joins forces with Miller and Smith Foods, Canada’s largest importer of tomatoes for processing. Starting November 2023, this synergistic partnership is set to embrace current market interest on the West Coast by introducing wholesale organic frozen sea buckthorn berries at competitive industry pricing.
With more and more Canadians prioritizing their health and well-being and the statistics showing that Gen Z’ers and Millennials are the most open to trying new foods and beverages, ingredients like the sea buckthorn berry are rapidly capturing market attention from brewers, distillers, and healthy beverage manufacturers alike.

Their vast experience working with food and beverage manufacturers of all magnitudes, particularly in the brewing industry, ensures unparalleled supply chain efficiency.

“By leveraging the strengths of both Omega Fruit Co. and Miller and Smith, we are positioning ourselves to capture a significant market share while offering a great product at industry-measured pricing,” says Jonathan Asada.
The core of this partnership revolves around two primary goals:
- Building New Partnerships: Omega Fruit Co. and Miller & Smith eagerly anticipate forging new customer relationships. Making Sea buckthorn berries more accessible presents exciting opportunities for West Canadian businesses seeking a consistent and quality supply.
