Minimum Live Price
|
Each A-Period, which runs every eight weeks, Alberta Chicken Producers sets Minimum Live Price to be paid to producers.
Alberta maintains a 3.25 cent price premium over the Ontario live price to capture catching costs paid by the producer in this province. (Ontario's pricing formula looks at cost increases in chick and feed each A-Period and looks at operational costs annually). The majority of provinces throughout Canada follow Ontario's Live Price in order to set the respective provincial Live Price.
