Canada: Poultry and Products Annual

Broiler meat production is forecast to expand to record levels in 2018, prompted by sustained consumer demand. Chicken remains competitively priced and an attractive substitute to other pricier meats. Canada’s chicken tariff rate quota (TRQ) is projected to reach 90,000 metric tons (MT), and imports of broiler meat are forecast to grow moderately. Imports from the United States are expected to remain over 80 percent of Canada’s total imports. Additional imports under re-export programs, the great majority of which originate in the U.S., are estimated to stay well below the record levels registered in 2015.
