Provincial Turkey Marketing Quotas 2021–22

Summary#

These are final regulations (SOR/2021-51) that change the turkey marketing quota schedule for a one-year control period. The rules set how many pounds of turkey are allotted by province for the period April 25, 2021 to April 30, 2022.

What it does#

• Replaces the schedule in the Canadian Turkey Marketing Quota Regulations, 1990 with new provincial allotments for the control period beginning April 25, 2021 and ending April 30, 2022.
• Lists the number of pounds of turkey allocated to each province for that period:
  • Ontario: 162,837,130 pounds
  • Quebec: 73,900,310 pounds
  • Nova Scotia: 8,689,510 pounds
  • New Brunswick: 7,673,668 pounds
  • Manitoba: 30,182,329 pounds
  • British Columbia: 41,980,647 pounds
  • Saskatchewan: 11,520,648 pounds
  • Alberta: 31,488,365 pounds
• Total allotment for the control period: 368,272,607 pounds.

Who's affected#

• Canadian Turkey Marketing Agency, which administers the marketing plan, and provincial turkey marketing bodies that work with it.
• Turkey producers who receive market allotments or apply for new allotments within the provinces listed.
• Processors, distributors and others in the turkey supply chain may notice effects because the rule fixes how much turkey is assigned to each province.
• If it is unclear whether a specific business or region is directly covered, producers or their provincial marketing board should be consulted.

Why it matters#

• These numbers set the legal limits used to decide how much turkey individual producers can be allotted or issued in each province for the year.
• That affects production planning, allocation of bird placements, and how much product enters provincial markets during the control period.
• For producers and supply-chain businesses, the schedule is a practical tool that shapes how much turkey can be marketed in each province from April 25, 2021 to April 30, 2022.
