Canada: Canadian Pork Promotion and Research Agency Proclamation

The proclamation for a Canadian Pork Promotion and Research Agency (PRA) was released in Canada Gazette Part I on Saturday March 7, 2020. The published proposal would see a levy collected on the marketing of hogs for interprovincial or export trade as well as an import levy on live hogs and pork products imported into Canada. The current proposal calls for a national levy amount of CAD 0.75 per head which would be applied to all imports; provincial levies may vary but only the national will apply to imports.
