About SaskEgg
Saskatchewan Egg Producers (SaskEgg) is an independent, farmer-run organization that oversees and promotes Saskatchewan’s egg farming industry. We ensure a consistent supply of fresh, local eggs, produced by family farms committed to the highest standards of animal care and environmental sustainability.
The 74 registered egg farms in Saskatchewan are part of the national supply management (fair farm pricing) system, which ensures a stable market; a consistent supply of fresh, local, affordable eggs; and fair return to farmers, based on what it costs to produce eggs, thereby avoiding the need for government subsidies.
We are funded entirely by egg farmers. Each registered farm pays a levy on each dozen eggs sold and these funds support the activities of SaskEgg and our national partner, Egg Farmers of Canada:
- Overseeing pullet and egg production within the national supply management system
- Managing the production and pricing of eggs based on the cost of production, keeping eggs affordable for consumers and ensuring fair farm pricing for farmers
- Ensuring stringent food safety and animal care standards through the Egg Quality Assurance™ (EQA®) program
- Growing market demand for eggs through promotion, research, innovation, value-add processing and business development
Consistent with our mission to promote a healthy, innovative and expanding egg industry in Saskatchewan, SaskEgg is the proud owner of Evova Foods, which has developed tasty and healthy egg-based snacks. SaskEgg is also proud to own Star Egg Company, in partnership with the Harman family and NutriGroupe.
