Chicken market still in flux

The Ontario chicken market continues to struggle to settle down after the COVID-19 lockdown in March.

The flow continues to change among supply chains, such as for fast-food chains and supermarkets.


As a result the national agency has taken a cautious approach and set production targets for quota period A-167 only half a per cent higher than a year ago.


That translates to 64,577,417 kilograms for Ontario and 187,118, 185 for the nation.


Quota period A-167 runs from the end of December to mid-February.
