Marketing agencies were traditionally used to provide producers with economic power, but increased exportation and consolidation has changed the marketing options. Through interviews, the price reporting in each pork producing province was documented. Alberta uses marketing organizations like Western Hog Exchange, but has no official government reporting. Saskatchewan uses an organization called SPI that uses Maple Leaf contract prices. Manitoba has a provincial government report, a Maple Leaf report, and a Manitoba Pork Marketing report. Quebec reports prices through the Federation of Quebec Pork Producers. PEI uses the Hog Commodity Marketing Board based on Ontario Pool numbers. Each report varies in the way to access the information and the frequency of updates.
