Farm Credit Canada economist Leigh Anderson forecasts a rosy
future for Canada’s chicken industry – production increases of 22 per cent over
the next 10 years.
He predicts retail prices will increase by 1.7 per cent for
the next three years and that per capita chicken consumption will increase by
six per cent by 2025.
This will occur within the context of increased competition
as international free-trade agreements take effect and as animal welfare
measures curb production practices.
I'm not surprised the FCC is so optimistic, given its reckless lending to quota holders.
