It is rather unfortunate that Marketing Boards have been subjected to criticism from an organization such as the Economic Council of Canada, which according to my understanding, used er- roneous and unrealistic com- parisons and gave Canadian Consumers the impression . that they have been poorly served by the agriculture in- dustry. The message Marketing Boards must convey to Canadians is that the price of food is the lowest in Canada compared to any country in the world and the quality of the food is the highest. Part of the credit for this. high quality food at reasonable prices, compared to food in • other countries, must go to the Marketing Boards. Farming is a unique in- dustry. While most basic in- dustries are dominated by a relatively small number of large producers, farming is conducted by thousands of individual entrepreneurs. However, the number of buyers for farm products has continued to decline as retailing and processing have become more centraliz- ed. This has brought about a major distortion in the marketplace as the small number of buyers can force unrealistically low prices on the large , number of farmers. Thus, Marketing Boards were established,`some to re- establish some balance in the marketplace, others to standardize . terms of sale, poolingoreturns equitably among all producers, and correcting widespread ir- regularities and manipula- tion of markets. The Marketing boards are supervised by the Farm Pro- . ducts Marketing Board and the Milk Commission of On- tario. In addition, the Parini Products Appeal Tribunal, composed of farmers, civil servants and consumers, has the power to ,overturn deci- sions of the Marketing Boards. Appeals may also be made to the Courts. The Marketing Board's greatest contribution has been to help preserve oppor- tunities for the family -run farm. Although Marketing Boards do not assure the farmer a reasonable income as most food prices are still governed by the weather and world prices, they have brought farmers better in- comes, an increased ability to plan, and confidence in having some influence in the marketplace. Farm incomes are ex- pected to drop dramatically this year. Without Marketing Boards, however, the situa- tion would be even worse. The Marketing Boards have also improved the situation by developing new or retaining existing markets — something the in- dividual farmer could not do by himself. Most of the controversy concerning marketing boards centres around the issue of supply manage- ment. Supply management is a well established practice in nearly every industry. Business, whether large or small has available several methods by which they can help tailor supply to equal demand. In periods of reduc- ed sales businessmen have several options such as reduced hours, lay-offs or cutting inventories to help survive during periods of reduced demand. No one ex- pects business to needlessly erode their financial position by producing goods for which there ism demand. In the long run, this benefits both the economy and the public.
