Executive Summary:

This research project is intended to provide: a set of statistical facts that are a platform to facilitate discussion, exploration and exploitation to enhance the development of agricultural sector in Saskatchewan.

The selected agricultural industries are the known and interrelated industries in Saskatchewan, namely; Chicken, Turkey, Dairy, Egg, Cattle, Hog and Sheep.

The Project includes:

• The highlighting fact that: the huge area of useable land in Saskatchewan puts us at a comparative advantage, relative to other Canadian provinces. With capital accumulation and efficient utilization, this advantage can become strengthening for economic development and prosperity in our province.

• Economic factor analyses of Canadian provinces. The analyses include; Land returns, GDP, Employment, Population, Hours worked and Labour productivity.

• Industrial Analysis; Provides the province-wise current production levels and dollar value of the produce, compared with the available/useable land in each province.

The research also includes two agricultural policy approaches that may likely be applicable in Saskatchewan. These approaches are basic sketches and give an estimate of the opportunity cost of underutilizing our land resource in Saskatchewan. At the same time, the approaches also provide estimates of dollar values that the selected agricultural industries (when further developed), may add to the Saskatchewan GDP.

Most of the statistical information is achieved with the help of Statistics Canada and Saskatchewan Bureau of Statistics. The resources and references are cited either at the end of the pages or at the end of the project.

Hours Worked and Labour Productivity in Canada

News and Statistical Update:

“Mining and oil and gas extraction industries saw a large 3.3% increase in hours worked at the national level.” … “Extremely strong gains were posted in Newfoundland and Labrador (+ 30.6%), Saskatchewan (+ 10.2%) and British Columbia (+ 10.0%).”…

“Economic output rose at a much faster pace than hours worked in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan, resulting in strong gains in Labour productivity.”…

“By comparison, Saskatchewan experienced a large average annual increase in productivity from 2000 to 2005 (+ 1.6%).”

News and Statistical update for Poultry:

“Poultry consumption, which has been climbing over time, advanced modestly in 2005 to 13.7 kilograms per person. Canadians ate 66% more poultry in 2005 compared to 1976. Chicken is by far the poultry of choice with each Canadian eating 11.4 kilograms in 2005.”

“The ongoing popularity of easy to prepare and ready to eat chicken products with time conscious consumers, along with the publicized health benefits of poultry has contributed to the increased use of chicken.”

Milk & Cream

The dairy industry is the fourth largest sector of the Canadian agri-food economy after grains, red meats and horticulture. In 2003, dairy farming generated $4.5 billion in total farm cash receipts. During the same period, sales from Canadian dairy processors amounted to $10.4 billion in value, representing 14 per cent of sales in the Canadian food and beverage sector.

Key Findings:

• Driven by an increasing market demand by consumers seeking better-for-you (BFY) products such as yogurt, quality indulgent products such as high fat ice cream treats and specialty products such as ethnic cheeses, manufacturers see considerable opportunities to expand into niche markets and build consumer loyalty. • Small to mid-sized operations have the opportunity and ability to pursue niche markets through specialization, product and package innovation, and unique value-added items as these products are more Labour intensive, less likely to be mass produced and require shorter plant runs. This allows small to mid-sized operations to differentiate themselves from large corporate dairy processors.

Eggs

Canada's Egg Industry:

Each year in Canada, more than 25 million hens lay over 6.8 billion eggs. About 5.3 billion of these are sold as table eggs, while the rest are processed into liquid, frozen or dried form.

The average Canadian flock size is 17,000 hens, but five farms in Canada have flocks larger than 100,000 hens. The average laying hen produces about 285 eggs per year.

In 2001, there were 1,146 registered commercial egg producers in Canada. Ontario produced 39 per cent of all eggs in Canada, while Quebec produced 19.2 per cent. The western provinces have a combined egg production of 33.3 per cent and the eastern provinces have a combined production of 8.5 per cent. In 2001, total farm cash receipts of eggs was $564 million.

Cattle

News and Statistical update:

• Canada’s national cattle herd has plunged by 810,000 head – a near record decline for a single year. As of July 1, [2006] cattlemen reported 16.2 million head on their farms, down 4.7% from the record 17.1 million head on the same date last year. It was the first decline in the national herd in seven years.

• In the year up to July 1, 2006, total cattle exports amounted to 1,140,000 head, only 22% below the pre-BSE level. There were no exports during the two previous 12-month periods. In the year up to July 1, 2003, Canadian cattlemen exported 1,458,000 animals.

• Once the border was reopened to cattle, beef meat exports declined, partially offsetting the higher cattle exports. Part of the decline can be attributed to a three-week strike at Lakeside Packers in Alberta in late October and early November of 2005. Even so, the lower monthly exports have been sustained.

• Cattle numbers fell in all provinces, but the decline was more dramatic on the Prairies. The herd in Manitoba , Saskatchewan and Alberta , combined, plunged by 610,000 head, which accounted for three-quarters of the total decline up to July 1 this year. [However,] the Prairie Provinces accounted for the vast majority of the increase in cattle numbers during the three-year period leading up to the July 1, 2005 record.

News and Statistical update:

Hog inventories remained lower during the second quarter of 2006 consistent with soft prices. Farmers reported 14.5 million hogs as of July 1, 2006. This was 3.1% below the same date last year, and, on a quarterly basis, down marginally from the first quarter of 2006.

Exports of Canadian hogs, principally to the United States to be fed, were up 9.6% in the first half of 2006 from the same period the previous year. They were at historically strong levels. At the same time, domestic slaughter declined by 2.6%.

Sheep Industry

The sheep industry in Canada has matured considerably over the last number of years and has demonstrated its maturity in the recent months responding the BSE. The rebounding of lamb prices and the subsequent opportunity for produces to come to making a reasonable return for their efforts bode well for [sheep] industry.

Lamb has traditionally been considered a commodity. Its quality fluctuated according to the season, genetics and management regime used to produce the lamb. As consumer expectations of lamb have increased, their satisfaction with commodity lamb has decreased, markedly. Commodity lamb, marketed on price more than quality, and which has often been intermixed with mutton at the point of purchase, is no longer the focus of many producers. Furthermore, with changes occurring in the textile and fashion industry, lamb is becoming the main reason for farming sheep. Wool has largely become a by-product; and producing commodity lamb does not provide producers with an opportunity to capture premiums from the marketplace.
