New chicken production quotas set for the next marketing period across all provinces

Canadian Chicken Marketing Quota Regulations — under the FARM PRODUCTS AGENCIES ACT

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

Chicken Farmers of Canada has updated the schedule of maximum chicken production allowed under federal and provincial quotas for the new eight-week marketing period. The total national production limit under standard quotas rises from roughly 307.5 million kg to about 319.8 million kg (live weight), with increases across all ten provinces. Market development quotas and specialty chicken quotas are also adjusted by province, with some provinces seeing increases and others decreases in those categories. Licensed chicken producers in every province must ensure their planned production stays within the new per-province limits for this period. Quota holders and their compliance teams should review the updated schedule to confirm they are operating within the revised provincial allocations.
