Alberta Chicken Marketing Levy 1.95¢

Summary#

This is the Order Amending the Canadian Chicken Marketing Levies Order (SOR/2022-62). It sets the levy that Alberta chicken producers must pay on chicken marketed in interprovincial or export trade at 1.95 cents, and it came into force on May 8, 2022.

What it does#

• Replaces the levy rate for Alberta in paragraph 3(1)(i) of the Canadian Chicken Marketing Levies Order with a rate of 1.95 cents.
• Makes that levy payable by producers who market chicken in interprovincial or export trade.
• Comes into force on May 8, 2022 (or on the day it was registered if that was later).

Who's affected#

• Producers in Alberta who sell chicken across provincial borders or for export.
• Chicken Farmers of Canada, which is the body authorized to implement the marketing plan funded by these levies.

If the wider wording or unit (for example, per kilogram or per bird) matters for calculations, the short excerpt published here does not show that detail. The full regulatory text or farm-producer guidance would state the unit.

Why it matters#

• It changes how much Alberta chicken producers must contribute to national marketing activities when they sell outside the province.
• That levy is a direct, per-unit charge that can affect producers' costs and the funds available to Chicken Farmers of Canada for marketing programs.
• The change was approved under the Farm Products Agencies Act processes and is an administrative step needed to implement the national marketing plan.
