The Chicken Farmers of Canada supply management agency held to production goal of 6.5 per cent above base for the next quota production period from Aug; 23 to Oct. 17.
The Chicken Farmers of Ontario marketing board said “demand for chicken continues to be strong. This is supported by competing meat prices, steady per capita consumption and overall positive economic indicators.”
For the second time, Ontario’s increase of 6.3 per cent fell below the national target. For years it was consistently above the national goals.
