Home>Unions and affiliated groups>Local unions>Union of UPA Des Chenaux Union of UPA Des Chenaux The Syndicat de UPA des Chenaux brings together the MRC of the same name as well as the cities of Trois-Rivières and Shawinigan. The territory of the MRC des Chenaux is almost totally zoned for agriculture. The space in cities devoted to agricultural activities is certainly limited. It is in Trois-Rivières that the agricultural zone is the most important, and it is also in this city that agricultural businesses use the greatest proportion of the green zone. The city of Shawinigan occupies a fairly large area, but only 10% of this area is used for agricultural purposes. Dairy production is a very present activity in this MRC. In several municipalities, it remains the activity practiced by the majority of agricultural producers. The city of Trois-Rivières is characterized by its relatively flat relief and fertile agricultural soils. For its part, the city of Shawinigan stands out for the marked growth of vegetable companies which, in 2010, generated 21% of the city's agricultural income. 2021 members' gatherings Invitation 2021 Instructions for participating in a virtual meeting Activity report 2020 Information leaflet on COVID-19 MUNICIPALITIES Batiscan, Champlain, Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel, Shawinigan, Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan, Saint-Luc-de-Vincennes, Saint-Maurice, Saint-Narcisse, Saint-Prosper, Saint-Stanislas and Trois-Rivières MAIN PRODUCTIONS IN THE TERRITORY Cereals, beef, dairy, forestry, market gardening, maple syrup NUMBER OF FARMS 343 farms NUMBER OF CONTRIBUTIONS 526 contributions NUMBER OF MEMBERS 506 members (96.21%) Local unions Union of UPA Des Chenaux Union of the UPA of Haute-Mauricie Maskinongé UPA Union Union of the Mékinac UPA Specialized unions Farmers of the Mauricie The Mauricie pig breeders The Poultry Farmers of Mauricie - Center-du-Québec The Mauricie Milk Producers Agricultural succession of the Mauricie Mauricie Maple Syrup Producers Union Mauricie Wood Producers Union Cattle producers in Mauricie Grain producers in Mauricie Events to come No event for this union at the moment.
