UPSHALL WILL HOLD MEETINGS ABOUT SPI/INTERCON DEAL

Released on October 1, 1997

Agriculture and Food Minister Eric Upshall today announced he would

meet with key industry stakeholders regarding the implications of the

recent Saskatchewan Pork International(SPI)/Intercon announcement.



SPI and Intercon announced on Friday, Sept. 26, that SPI would take an

equity interest in Intercon and that SPI would supply 82 per cent of

its hogs to Intercon. The remaining 18 per cent are supplied to

Tai Wan Packers of Moose Jaw, which is managed by Intercon.



Upshall said hog producers and some of the smaller hog packing and

processing plants have been asking how they access Saskatchewan hogs

now that SPI and Intercon/Tai Wan Packers have signed exclusive supply

contracts.



"SPI has stated that it is preparing to become a marketer of choice in

a competitive environment," Upshall said. "SPI has taken action it

believes will position the agency to remain an effective marketer for

producers. However, these actions do press the question of the single

desk. In this context, I must ensure that the interests of industry

stakeholders are protected.



"I want to talk to the industry players before reaching any

conclusions. The input I receive hopefully will lead to a solution

that will best meet the needs of all stakeholders in the hog

industry."
