Bacon Trade Prospects

‘In the latest issue of the Economic Analyst an interesting review of the wartime develop- livc stock and meat trade is give11 by Mr. ll. K. Leckie, who, in the course of his summation, says that, in view of the great expansion of the livestock industry in Canada in response to wartime demands, the question naturally arises — where do we go Must production eventually return to pro-war levels or ‘can part of the wartime in-

These are questions, the reviewer adds, which at the moment are of vital concern the entire livestock industry and meat Turning first to the possible future of the bacon hog industry, it is not yct clear what volume of CXDOIII_I)H.CUII Canada may count 011 ship- ping ill post-war years, although a figure of 450 billion pounds has been suggested. On the supply side, the level of hog production which can be maintained depends 011 a number of fac- tors, including the supply and price of. feed abor, the attractiveness or compet- ing products and the general reaction of farm-

graills and

ers to hog production prospects.

From lhc demand side, while it docs appear likcly that lhe United Kingdom will continue as the clliqf export nlarkct for Canadian bacon, yet the quantities whicll she may be in a posi- tion to accept depends, in turn, 0n her home production policies, the opportunities for reci- procal trade, and several other factors. More- over, tllerc will ccrtaillly be competition in the bacon lradc which Canada will have to meet on

the British market.
