Dear Reader;
The Bruce County Port Producers Assoo
daation is working to improve the industry
through a rational marketing system,
The past five years have seen only one
year, 1982, when average price returned cosi
of production, The reason is not mere choice,
11 is chronic over production which is the
result of modern production techniques+
which are now commonplace, ever produc-
tion with no restrictions spell low pork
prices,
We are promoting a raationaal maarketing
system for Canada based on two principles;
(1 y The domestic market shouldbe shared by
producers through a quota system with
prices determined by a cost of production
ay Pork foe export would be produced with
no restrictions and, of course, price would be
whatever it would g on the export
marker.
by short, stoppty management for the
domestic market and utrre's-tariacted produc-
,fora for the export maatket, We are, at this
time, in a unique situation, Now, more than
at any previous time, we producers ate in a
position to aci tot our own beneftt,
Ontario and Quebec produce about 7d% of
our pork, Late in November, at the Canadian
Po►k Council meeting, the Quebec delega-
tion indicaated its support for supply manage -
mem, Its motion was narrowly defeated, The
strongest opposition came from the Athena
and entarro delegations. Ontario president,
Mr, Farrell, indicated to the press ,hart the
Ontario p otion was On accord with the
position taken by councilmen at the 0982
annual meeting, when they opted for
sta fritiraation rather than supply manage-
ment, "Nothing has changed since," Mt.
iv aatte% is quoted as. saying.
This is as situation that we, the producers
can turn mound, 'there is ntv doubt that
Ontario and Quebec could Wog about a
stapply auarraageonent system]. pot should be
noted that there is support for supply
rrvaorvaagemerort in the Maritirvaes and ptobalvly
Saskatchewan N5 welly.
There will be these who will say that it will
be necessary to have unanimous agreement
ftonr every province before a supply
management system can 'le implemented;
that is simply not tore.
We appeal to potk ptoducets carefully
consider their options. Over production is
riot going to go away. The mulch publicized
Slaabilizaatcora Plan will, if of ever gets off the
ground, being limited herveftts to producers.
The pork price cycle, put out of whack Ory
chromic surpluses, will continue to have
more downs than ups. Current ptograans to
ioterease efficiency and to institute forward
contracting, white coravm'endab'te, are in no
wady able to dual with the problem a price
catalyse. Chilly a maatvr change in marketing
strategy can do that.
The ptessiftes in the rraat*etplace exerted
by packers. ked co;Yv vaard'es. wholesalers.
retailers. unions and Wickets, have never
been so intense. Unlike farmers. they
seldom forgo wages. profits or retritry o>w
investments. To imagine that are can
continrfe to dump out product on the market
Oh this scenario, and get a saatisfaactory price
is not realistic.
The Baste Comity Pork Ptothreets Assoc-
iation has been in conversation with some
raeighl noting co ovy associations roncetn-
Mg these mallets arid hopes to ffitet with
others shortly. A short position paper is
feeing sent to each countilrrvaarr itt Oarrtartco acrd
to the &rector of the provirvcial Wahl.
We solicit ytitir sappcnl. Partners, have
waited tong enough for others to sort out our
problems. We have concluded that both
