Representing registered hatching egg and broiler producers in ManitobaSearch for: Manitoba Chicken ProducersManitoba Chicken Producers (MCP) is dedicated to representing the needs of hatching egg and chicken producers of Manitoba by providing leadership in maintaining a viable and stable chicken production industry.We are a provincial, farmer-run, organization whose main responsibility is to ensure that Manitoba farmers produce enough hatching eggs and meat chickens to meet the needs of the marketplace. The system we operate under is commonly known as supply management or orderly marketing.Our organization is completely funded through levies paid by registered farmers according to the number of eggs and kilograms of chicken marketed. We do not receive any government subsidies, grants, or other taxpayer monies.Our directions and policies are determined by a eight member board of directors that meets regularly. The board is made up of chicken farmers elected from each of the six chicken producing districts, and two hatching egg farmers elected to represent the hatching egg producers.The board of directors meets with hatcheries, and with provincial processors, to determine the needs of the marketplace and to set the minimum prices paid to farmers. more...
