Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
A new quota schedule has been added to the Canadian Chicken Marketing Quota Regulations covering the production period beginning October 18, 2026 and ending December 12, 2026. The schedule sets province-by-province limits on chicken production in three categories: production subject to federal and provincial quotas, market development quotas, and specialty chicken quotas. The national total under the main production quota rises to approximately 319.1 million kg live weight, up from the previous 315.8 million kg, with increases visible in several provinces including Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia. This change is currently listed as not yet in force. Licensed chicken producers in all provinces should check their individual provincial allocations against the new schedule to understand how their permitted volumes may change when the new period begins.
