Canada economists for 1984.
.conomic conditions for hog producers in
th America were poop, ir' 1983 as pork out
and feed grain prieeW: rose, while market
prices fell. This is expected to result in
er hog . •.supplies during 1984, most ,
iificantly in .the United States in the
►nd half of the year. .
Canada, . hog supplies in .1984 are
cast to he eight per larger in the

ler levels and about four .per cent larger.
An the second quarter; Supplies' are expected
to decrease in the second half _of the year,
leaving total . Canadian pork output, two per
cent above 1983 levels.
According to the ' U.S. ' Department ,of
Agriculture, pork production is expected to
be eight per cent above year earlier levels in
the first quarter of 1984 and one per cent
lower in . the second quarter.
However; pork' production is then expect-
ed to drop more sharply, resulting in U.S.
pork supplies for 1984 being two per cent

Hog prices in,_.the United States ., are
forecast to . average.. between U.S. $47 and,
$51 Per hundred weight live in the second
quarter, reaching the high $50s in the third
quarter and weakening seasonally in the
fourth quarter. Hog prices in the U.S. are
expected to average above U.S.: $49 per
hundred weight live in 1984.
Index .100 hogs in Ontario are likely to
average around $74 per hundred Weight this
spring and above' -that throughout the
summer period. Prices should then weaken
seasonally m the tau.
The average price during the second half
of 1984 should be above g80 . per hundred
weight.
Canada's dressed pork exports declined in
1983 from their record high levels in 1982.
The value of dressed pork imports remained
unchanged compared to. year earlier levels
although the volume of imports rose by 15
per. cent. .
Expectations for smaller U.S. pork
supplies ' and slightly higher Canadian
supplies point to a favorable flow of trade in
1984. However, Canada may face more
tompetition in other markets, including
Japan and Europe.
