Regional Allocation Recovery
Process Due to Covid-19
|
|
Background - Regional Allocations for A-163 and A-164
For periods A-163 and A-164, the Western provinces received 3,164,050 kg eviscerated and 2,145,290 kg eviscerated, respectively, in excess of what they would have for a total of 5,309,340 kg eviscerated due to regional market needs as a result of Covid-19. CFC Directors determined that once the situation had stabilized, provinces that had received lower allocations in periods A-163 and A-164 would be made whole by transfers of allocation from the four western provinces.
Recovery of Regional Allocations Update
On May 21, 2021, at the request of the four western provinces, CFC Directors agreed to delay the recovery for periods for A-163 and A-164 to period A-174, with the understanding that the Boards will have the opportunity to review this timeline prior to the allocation setting for period A-174. CFC Executive Committee will review options should the actual periodic recovery amount be less than the calculated periodic amount.
Recovery from A-163-A-164 regional allocations transfers (kilograms eviscerated)
BC’s share of transfers to central and eastern Canada (based on western market share) is 43.06% of the total.
- 190,950 kilograms per period for 12 periods.
- 2,291,398 kilograms total.

Celebrating 60 Years
From the Archives:
1977 Annual Report
Following a Supreme Court decision on Dec. 8, 1977 that declared the British Columbia Broiler Marketing Board's import order no. 1 outside of the board's authority, the outlook for the BC Boiler Chicken industry in 1978 was undertain. However, the hope for a proclamation of the Canadian Chicken Marketing Agency in the near future offered growers a glimmer of hope.
