Hog import ruling shifts costs to Canadian producers
The U S Department of Commerce ruled that Canadian pork producers receive production subsidies, giving them an unfair edge over U S hog farmers. Importers face a temporary special fee on Canadian hogs, potentially becoming permanent by midsummer. Iowa gains an estimated 30 to 35 million dollars yearly from the decision, while Canadian exports are costing Iowa producers about 160 million annually. The ruling cites Hog Stabilization Payments and provincial subsidies as the main support mechanisms behind Canada’s advantage.
