The Horticulture Research and Development Centre is one of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's network of 19 research centres. Located in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, the Centre's mandate is to conduct research in the areas of sustainable production, pest management and preserving the quality of crops and horticulture after harvesting. Scientists specialize in market garden crops, tree fruits, small fruits, ornamental shrubs and new crops.

Scientists focus on ways to develop and transfer knowledge, and to produce technologies and innovative products, while striving to protect the environment, preserve human health and minimize risks for producers. The Centre's qualified and experienced researchers also carry out collaborative work with university researchers or government colleagues. The Centre manages three research sub-stations at L'Acadie and Sainte-Clotilde, which specializes in mineral soil and muck soil horticulture research, and Frelighsburg which operates a variety of orchards for research.
