Canada: Poultry and Products Annual
In 2015, the poultry sector is likely to show another year of moderate growth. Broiler meat production is forecast to expand 2 percent, as chicken becomes an attractive substitute for red meats, which remain in tight supply and exhibit high prices. Consumer demand remains robust, while poultry processors enjoy above average profit margins. The chicken TRQ is projected to reach 80,900 metric tons in 2015, from an estimated level of 78,900 metric tons in 2014.
