Chicken agency dials back production

After major increases for several production quota periods in a row, the national chicken agency is adopting a one per cent increase over base for the winter production period.

Ontario’s increase will be 1.4 per cent.


The Chicken Farmers of Ontario marketing board said “the prospect of additional imports leads to a conservative approach” after saying “demand for chicken continues to be strong.”


The outlook for strong demand  “is supported by competing meat prices and overall market conditions,” it said.
