2023 Egg-for-Processing Quota Period

Summary#

The final regulation Regulations Amending the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency Quota Regulations, 1986 updates the heading of Schedule 1.2 to set the egg‑for‑processing quota period as January 1, 2023 to December 30, 2023. The change came into force on January 1, 2023 and is meant to establish how many dozens of eggs may be marketed for processing during that period.

What it does#

• Replaces the heading of Schedule 1.2 in the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency Quota Regulations, 1986 with: "Limits to Egg for Processing Quotas for the Period Beginning on January 1, 2023 and Ending on December 30, 2023."
• States that the amendment establishes the number of dozens of eggs that producers may market under egg‑for‑processing quotas for that period. The short Gazette text does not show the actual quota numbers.
• Sets the effective date as January 1, 2023.

Who's affected#

• Producers who market eggs under the egg‑for‑processing quota system (those using Schedule 1.2).
• Egg processors and buyers who rely on quotaed supplies for making processed egg products.
• The change was made by the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency; other government bodies mentioned in the record reviewed or approved the change, but the practical effects are mainly on producers and processors.

Why it matters#

• It determines the legal limits on how many eggs can be sold into the processing market in 2023. That affects farm production planning and the supply available to food processors.
• Because the Gazette excerpt does not list the actual quota numbers, producers and buyers will need to consult the full regulation or the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency for the exact figures.
