Regina’s Agribition posts a profit

Apr 06, 2018

Regina’s Canadian Western Agribition is reporting a profit of 270 thousand dollars for the past year.

Agribition c.e.o. Chris Lane says the profit is down from the previous year.

Last year, Agribition had a 736 thousand dollar profit.

But Lane says Agribition provided one million dollars for the new International Trade Centre and is contributing half a million dollars to upgrade facilities at Evraz Place.

Lane says last fall’s show set a number of records including 2 million dollars in purebred cattle sales, 365 international buyers from 86 countries and the highest-ever operating revenue of 4.6 million dollars.

He says a new feature for the 2018 show will be an after-party cabaret in the Brandt Centre following the final rodeo performance Saturday night.

Agribition runs November 19th to 24th in Regina.

Video: What Does 20 MILLION Hogs a Year Look Like?

?? The Multi-Plant System Processing 20 Million Hogs Annually in the Midwest JBS USA operates multiple large-scale pork processing facilities across the Midwest, including major plants in Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. Combined, these facilities have the capacity to process approximately 20 million hogs annually.

Each plant operates high-speed automated slaughter systems capable of processing up to 20,000 head per day, followed by fabrication lines that break carcasses into primals, sub-primals, and case-ready retail products.

Hog procurement is coordinated through electronic marketing platforms that connect regional contract finishing operations and independent producers to plant demand schedules. This digital procurement system allows for steady supply flow and scheduling efficiency across multiple facilities.

Processing plants incorporate comprehensive food safety systems, including pathogen intervention technologies, rapid chilling processes, and integrated cold-chain management. USDA inspection is embedded throughout the harvest and fabrication stages to ensure regulatory compliance and product integrity. Finished pork products — from bulk primals to retail-ready packaged cuts — are distributed through coordinated logistics networks serving domestic and export markets.
