Chicken Farmers of Canada has set a goal to produce 216 million kilograms of chicken, 76 million of it in Ontario, in the spring.
The Ontario marketing board said “demand for chicken continues to be strong. This is supported by competing meat prices, population growth and steady per capita consumption.”
The goal for Canada is half a per cent above base quota and for Ontario .52 per cent above base.
The production will take place between April 6 and May 31.
