Ontario hog production increased by seven per cent to 6.2 million market hogs last year, the marketing board reported to its recent annual meeting.
Chair Tara Terpstra said farmers benefitted from a period of good prices and steady demand.
As part of its strategic plans, it will be increasing research into the impact that changes in trade policies could have on hog farmers.
The board directors are Tara and Tanya Terpstra, Karen Sanders, Charlie Illick, Jolanda Vandenbroek, Bruce Hudson, Philip Van Raay, Casssie Van Engelen and TJ Murray.
