Continued from page 1
Pork board discussed efforts by the
safety nets committee, on which she
sits, to create a united effort of beef,
pork and horticulture producers to
propose a business risk management
plan, extending the pilot plan in
place for grains and oilseeds
producers in Ontario. The group is
asking that money not used in the
plan for the crop producers be used
as a retroactive payment for 2009
losses in the meat and horticulture
groups.
The groups want to have their
position in place for Mitchell before
she goes to the meeting of
agriculture ministers at the federal,
provincial and territorial levels to be
held in February. They want her to
be able to argue for federal
participation, providing 60 per cent
of the funding needed. Even if the
federal government won’t buy in,
the group will press the provincial
government to go it along with a
business risk management program
that’s an extension of the one in
place for grains and oilseeds
producers.
Looking back at last year, Katie
Sinclair from Ontario Pork said
sales through the board fell from
$689.2 million to $573.9 million, a
drop of $115 million through a
combination of fewer numbers and
depressed prices.
While the sow cull program
reduced the number of pigs being
produced on Ontario farms, a
reduction in the number of market
pigs and weaners being sent to the
U.S. because of mandatory country
of origin labeling regulations has
meant that 92 per cent of pigs are
being marketed in Ontario.
There is some good news on the
horizon with the expectation that
Cambridge Meats will soon be up
and running, requiring about 5,000
pigs a week, Sinclair said. A new
Quebec plant, certified to meet
European Union standards, is also
looking for pigs and may not be able
to get enough in Quebec so may get
them in Ontario.
