Who's affected#
- Chicken Farmers of Canada, which set the schedule.
- Chicken producers in each province listed.
- Provincial marketing agencies and quota administrators who manage allocations.
- Buyers, processors, and distributors may notice changes because these limits affect the amount of chicken legally available to market during the period.
Why it matters#
- These numbers determine how much chicken can be produced and sold under the national and provincial quota system for the nine-week period.
- The limits affect farm planning and production decisions for that period.
- They can influence supply available to processors, retailers, and ultimately consumers during late September to mid-November 2023.
