What is Supply Management?
It’s a system that ensures farmers can produce the right amount of fresh, safe, high-quality food for their local communities – and right across our country.
In fact, it’s a system that ensures Canadian farmers are producing food for Canadians.
And it’s a system that ensures fair farm pricing, so the family farm remains strong and sustainable for generations to come.
How does it support our food supply?
Supply management keeps Canada’s food supply chain resilient and predictable. The system makes certain our shelves are secure, prices are stable, and Canadians can depend on high-quality and consistent food choices.
How does it protect your plate?
Supply management ensures that the food you enjoy—like chicken, eggs, and turkey—is fresh, safe, and locally produced. By matching production to consumer demand, supply management reduces waste and keeps Canada’s food supply strong and secure.
How does it support Canadians?
In Ontario alone, the supply management system supports over 5,000 family-run chicken, egg, turkey, hatching egg and dairy farms – and more than 130,000 Ontario jobs.
One system, countless Canadians.
Behind every plate is a whole community of people working together:
chicken, egg, turkey, hatching egg and dairy farmers raising animals
grain farmers producing feed
veterinarians keeping livestock healthy
processors and graders producing food
drivers delivering goods
grocers stocking shelves and restaurants serving meals
Supply management keeps this recipe balanced.
