Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data

As part of Alberta Pork’s  commitment to create a trusted and competitive industry through market transparency and collaboration, we are pleased to announce the publication of Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data starting on May 21, 2025. The weekly Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data will be published in the Alberta Pork Weekly Report and posted on the Alberta Pork website.

Publication of the Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data is an important step for industry, reflective of the collaboration between Alberta Pork and federally inspected processors receiving Alberta hogs across Western Canada. Reaching this point of publication has taken the dedicated efforts of many but most notably Minister Nate Horner who, during his time as the agriculture minister, worked with industry to garner the support for and shepherd the regulatory amendments, as well as Minister RJ Sigurdson and his staff for helping with the requirements allowing for the collection of the Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data.

As a regulated requirement to publish the Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data, Alberta Pork must protect processor and producer confidentiality. To do so Alberta Pork aligns the data based on settlement periods to aggregate the data.
