Canadian chicken production quotas updated for the new 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 set new province-by-province limits on how much chicken can be produced and marketed under federal and provincial quota systems for a fresh marketing period. The total allowable production under standard quotas has decreased slightly compared to the previous period, while specialty chicken quota has increased modestly. Each province's allocation has shifted: for example, Ontario's standard quota drops from roughly 110.7 million kg to 109.7 million kg, and Manitoba's market development quota rises from 150,000 kg to 435,000 kg. Chicken producers and processors operating under quota in any province should confirm their individual quota holdings align with the revised schedule to remain compliant.
