Egg-for-Processing Quotas 2023–2024

Summary#

The Regulations Amending the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency Quota Regulations, 1986: SOR/2023-284 update the heading of Schedule 1.2 to set egg-for-processing quota limits for the period December 31, 2023 to December 28, 2024. The change came into force on December 31, 2023. The text says it establishes the number of dozens producers may market for processing, but the Gazette excerpt does not show the specific quota numbers.

What it does#

• Replaces the heading of Schedule 1.2 with wording that fixes the quota period as beginning December 31, 2023 and ending December 28, 2024.
• States that the amendment establishes how many dozens of eggs producers may market under egg-for-processing quotas for that period.
• Confirms the amendment came into force on December 31, 2023.

Who's affected#

• Egg producers who sell eggs specifically for processing (they are the ones given quotas under Schedule 1.2).
• Companies that buy eggs for processing (food processors) may notice changes in supply availability.
• Provincial or industry marketing bodies that work with the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency on quota administration.
• The Gazette text does not list the exact quota numbers, so it’s unclear from this notice alone how large the change (if any) is for individual producers.

Why it matters#

• Quotas determine how many eggs producers are allowed to market for processing. That affects producers’ incomes and what processors can buy.
• Even if this looks like a short administrative update, it sets the official supply limits for the year and can influence prices, contract volumes, and planning for producers and processors.
• Because the specific dozens are not shown in this excerpt, anyone directly affected should consult the full Schedule 1.2 or contact the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency for the exact quota numbers.
