Farmers can now register for Agriculture and Agri-food Canada's Poultry and Egg On-Farm Investment Program (PEFIP), which was outlined by the the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau on April 13, 2021. BC chicken growers can receive 70% funding for activities that contribute to on-farm modernization, such as feeding, watering, lighting, ventilation and comfort system upgrades and/or new barn construction.
  1. Grower Registration: Growers should register with PEFIP using their license information. Upon validation, producers will see their maximum funding amount to plan their project.
  2. Submit an application: Growers can submit their project application(s) over the ten-year period for their on-farm investments.
