Manitoba chicken marketing levy raised and levy schedule extended one year

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

Two changes have been made to the levies that chicken producers pay to Chicken Farmers of Canada on interprovincial and export trade. First, the per-kilogram levy rate for Manitoba producers has increased from 2.46 cents to 2.65 cents per kilogram of live weight. Second, the expiry of the current levy schedule has been pushed back by one year. Chicken producers operating in Manitoba will now pay a higher levy on their marketed volumes. All producers subject to this order should update their financial planning and remittance calculations to reflect the new Manitoba rate and the extended schedule timeline.

Who this affects: chicken producers in Manitoba · chicken producers in other provinces subject to the levies order · Chicken Farmers of Canada member operations · provincial chicken marketing boards
