Alberta Egg Levy Set at $0.5905

Summary#

This is the Order Amending the Canadian Egg Marketing Levies Order (SOR/2025-161). It sets the levy rate that egg producers in Alberta must pay at $0.5905 and came into force when it was registered on August 13, 2025.

What it does#

• Replaces paragraph 3(1)(i) of the Canadian Egg Marketing Levies Order so that the levy for producers in Alberta is $0.5905.
• The change was made by the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency under the authority of the Farm Products Agencies Act.
• The order was made on August 7, 2025, registered on August 13, 2025, and published in the Canada Gazette, Part II on August 27, 2025. It takes effect on the registration date (August 13, 2025).

Who's affected#

• Primarily egg producers operating in the province of Alberta — they are the ones required to pay the levy set by this order.
• The Canadian Egg Marketing Agency and local marketing boards will also be involved in collecting or administering the levy.
• The document does not specify the unit or basis for the $0.5905 (for example, per dozen eggs, per kilogram, or some other basis), so it is unclear from this notice exactly how the charge is applied.

Why it matters#

• This sets the specific amount Alberta egg producers must pay into the federal marketing system. That can affect their production costs and budgeting.
• Changes to producer levies can eventually influence farm economics and, indirectly, retail supply or prices — though this order itself only fixes the levy rate, not retail prices.
• The notice is a routine regulatory step to implement the marketing plan overseen by the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency.
