Local hog producers urge consumers to buy Canadian
From page 5
Black notes Canadian pork is mostly an
export commodity and since a number of
its foreign markets consider pork a luxu-
ry and not a staple, the pork is coming off
the fork in favour of cheaper goods.
The end result, locally as well as coun-
try -wide, is a vast number of pig farm-
ers are barely holding on to their family
farms as debts mount and the revenues
continue to spiral downward.
While things have been tough in the
pork sector since about 1998, this past
year has proven especially devastating
for those trying to eke out a living, says
Black.
So what is the solution? According to
Wilma Schotman, the first thing is to buy
local.
"Ask for Canadian Pork. There is a
lot of pork in the stores that comes from
the US, and it's ridiculous," she said. "I
found out that not all pork at the store is
Canadian. It says packed and shipped in
Toronto, but that doesn't mean its Cana-
dian pork. And we have the pork here,
why not cat Canadian?"
Other than that, the family, like the rest
of Canada's pork industry is waiting for a
helping hand from the government.
"All those people who were at that ral-
ly, they were asking the government for
help. They need some money short term
now to survive, but what we'd like to have
is a long-term plan, somethirg like sup-
ply management," said Joe, while Wilma
added "They did for the car industry. You
can't eat cars. You can drive around in an
older car, doesn't matter. But you have
to eat food. The government, we think,
needs to help us."
