13-May-2009 (17 years 1 months ago)After 18 months of talks and intense negotiations, the 3,900 pork producers represented by the Fédération des producteurs de porcs du Québec (FPPQ) and almost all abattoirs representing 98% of slaughter pigs have signed a new agreement establishing an innovative and expansive way of doing business.
The new agreement will mean major changes in the marketing of Quebec pork. For example, all pigs will be allotted to specific abattoirs, changing the FPPQ's online auction service through which pork has been sold for the past 20 years. The auction method that allowed price fixing will cease as soon as the new agreement comes into effect.
