Canadian Hathching Egg Producers is an organization that aims to continue to grow a sustainable and profitable broiler hatching egg industry in Canada to ensure a strong, efficient and competitive industry that creates a dependable supply of quality broiler hatching eggs to Canadian chicken producers. CHEP is ensuring that broiler hatching egg farms are producing enough eggs to meet the demands of the Canadian chicken industry. Like the chicken, turkey, egg and dairy sectors, CHEP operates under the supply management system. The supply management system uses quota, import and price controls to help maintain a stable supply of eggs for Canadian chicken producers. This allows these producers to work in a more stable environment. Prices for their products do not fluctuate due to outside market pressures beyond their control. This system helps producers deliver a steady supply of products to Canadian consumers and the food service industry.
