Schreyer denies subsidies to hog farmers in Japan deal
Premier Schreyer rejects claims Manitoba hog producers subsidize pork prices in Japan. A Manitoba-Hog Marketing Commission contract with C Itoh of Japan to export 48 million pounds was signed in April. Critics say prices are below market, but the premier argues the contract uses a formula that adjusts with local prices, providing stability amid a low market. Opposition MLAs failed to extract contract terms, with the government citing trade confidentiality concerns.
