Increased Canadian Revenue

More Canadian Jobs

Benefits to Canada

With an increase in the price of turkey production, more and more producers will accumulate. With more producers in the picture Canada will retain more genetic variability within the turkey breeds and will in turn be able to send more genetic variability to Nepal. With more sales, and an increase demand in turkey production, more quota will become available for Canadian turkey farmers to buy, and producers will have an opportunity to expand their farm or there will also leave room for new turkey farmers to gain access to quota.  An increase in turkey production will also result in an increase in the need for the grain that the turkeys are fed, providing an opportunity for further Canadian job opportunities. On a global scale, even if certain provinces are capable of producing more turkey eggs for export to Nepal, it could result in being very beneficial for provinces that are capable of producing more grains, because the supply demand will be greater. Therefore, although some provinces in Canada will see the benefits more and potentially quicker, the entire country will eventually be benefited if the trade is successful, and possible other heritage turkey exports become available.  

There has been a steady incline in the number of turkey farmers in Canada, and also an increase in the average price per turkey (Stats Canada). The more turkeys Canada is able to export, the higher turkey sales will be, making more profit for Canadian turkey farmers.
