RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS OF THE PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION SAFEGUARDS INQUIRY INTO THE IMPORT OF PIGMEAT

High Commission of Canada
Canberra, Australia
December 7, 2007

Canada made its submission to the Australian Productivity Commission on November 27, 2007.  At the hearing, the Commissioner had the following questions with respect to Canada’s submission.  Canada respectfully submits its answers below:

QUESTION #1:  Have there been any changes in policies or level of support (i.e. subsidies etc..) in the last few years that would affect pigmeat exports?

Product-specific support to the pigmeat sector has fluctuated over the last number of years but the amount of support has been very small compared to value of production for the sector.  On an annual basis, support has been less than 5 percent of the value of production for pigmeat. We do not believe that there have been changes in Canada’s domestic programs that would affect Canadian pigmeat exports.

QUESTION #2:  Does Canada export much cooked pigmeat? Would it viable to export cooked pigmeat to Australia? 

	In 2006, Canadian total pigmeat exports were 1,037,941 metric tons in volume to all countries. Statistics Canada data indicate that, as a general matter in terms of volume, over 87% of Canada’s exports of pigmeat to all destinations from 2004 to 2006 was classified under Harmonized System (HS) Chapter 02 (e.g., fresh/chilled/frozen meat).  The remaining portion was processed pigmeat products under HS Chapter 16, with the United States as the main destination, accounting for over 70% of the processed pigmeat products.  The same data also reports that for the same period, over 98% of Canada’s exports to Australia were fresh/chilled/frozen pigmeat.  Canada started to export processed pigmeat products (HS16) in 2006 and accounted for less than 1% of total pigmeat exports to Australia.  Whether or not it would be viable to export processed pigmeat to Australia would depend on many factors, such as market demands, transportation cost, industry’s interests, regulatory factors.  For information on Canadian exports, see the tables in the annex.

QUESTION #3:  Please comment on the efficiency of the Canadian pig industry compared to Australia's pig industry?  

	Like the Australian pigmeat industry, the Canadian industry faces global competitive pressures, both in terms of selling its products outside of Canada and in competition in its own domestic market.  Therefore, the onus remains on Canadian producers to maintain and to continue to improve their efficiency in the face of strong challenges, such as rising feed prices.

In 2006, the Canadian average warm carcass weight of hogs slaughtered was 90.6 kg.  Canada has established a solid reputation for its achievements in swine genetics and for the quality of pigmeat.  The major swine breeds in Canada include the Yorkshire, Landrace and Duroc.  The most common female lines in Canada are the Landrace-Yorkshire crosses.   The Canadian hog industry is recognized for its breeding herd efficiencies.  Canadian swine breeding herds on average are more efficient than U.S. herds in terms of pigs per litter and pigs per breeding animal per year.  

 	While the Canadian pigmeat industry strives to remain efficient and competitive in terms of quality and price, just as pigmeat producers throughout the world, the Canadian producers are facing significantly reduced returns as a result of rising world feed prices, the appreciation of the Canadian dollar and lower hog prices.    

QUESTION #4:  What effect has world feed prices had on the Canadian pig industry? 

	The Canadian industry continues to face the competitive pressures of adjusting to increasing feed costs, and lower prices/returns. One key factor is the significant increase in the Canadian dollar which has pushed down returns on exports when denominated in Canadian dollars.  At the same time, feed prices have been pushed up by the increased world demand for grain corn for use in energy-related production - in part driven by programs which encourage the use of corn as a feed-stock for ethanol production.

	On the feed front, Canadian prices for barley and corn, the two main grains used for pig feed in Canada have risen to 10-year record highs in Canada.  On the following page we have provided tables illustrating the weekly price for barley and corn in 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Weekly Prices
Data Source:  Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

	The price of feed has a direct impact on producers’ profitability.  The hog feed ratio for 2007 is showing the lowest profitability returns in the last four years.  The ratio has long been used as an indicator of profitability in the pig industry.  The ratio is the live hog price per 100 pounds divided by the cost of 100 pounds of feed, with the critical number for profitability being in the range of 18-20 or above to indicate good returns.  From 2004 to 2006, while the ratio was in flux, it tended to remain above the critical mark of 20.  As shown in the graphs below, however, the hog feed ratio in Alberta and Ontario (two indicator provinces) has not been much over 15 for all of 2007 and has dropped to a low of 10 in recent months.

	The ratio clearly demonstrates that elevated feed prices are having a negative effect on Canadian pigmeat producer’s profitability.  

	To further exacerbate this problem, the appreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to U.S. currency has depressed pigmeat prices such that Canadian pigmeat producers are facing distinct hardship.  For example, the weekly price per 100 kg of pigmeat for the week ending November 24, 2007 was down by 27% (aggregate of provincial prices) over the same period in 2006.  This change in price is primarily attributable to the appreciation of the Canadian dollar.  The weekly hog price for the province of Ontario is provided as an example in the graph below.

QUESTION #5:  Apparent inconsistency relating to comparison of import data in Footnote 13 and the table in Canada’s original submission.

	The data presented in the table in Canada’s original submission showed import volume for the period of January to August 2007, while the data presented for other years showed complete calendar years (January to December).  Canada’s observations relating to the table involved comparisons of annual imports for the period 2004 to 2006.  Canada noted in its submission that while there was a significant increase in total imports from 2004 to 2005, mainly due to imports from the United States entering the Australian market, the total import volume increased by 4.15% from 2005 to 2006.

	Footnote 15, on the other hand, acknowledged that a comparison of the level of imports between the first 8 months of 2007 to the first 8 months of 2006 would show an increase of 57%. 

Canada would note, however, that when total Australian imports of pigmeat are examined on a monthly basis, and taking into account seasonal factors, the  increase in imports in the past two years has been, overall, steady and gradual. This is indicated in the table below which shows the levels and general trend line of monthly imports since August 2005. This table also suggests that imports have declined significantly since May 2007, although this likely reflects, to a considerable degree, normal seasonal factors.

Data Source:  Australian Bureau of Statistics

	It therefore remains Canada’s view, as indicated in our submission, that imports of frozen de-boned pigmeat have not increased enough in volume in the last year to meet the WTO Appellate Body’s criteria of a recent enough, sudden enough, sharp enough, and significant enough increase, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to cause or threaten to cause serious injury.
