據(jù)報道，加拿大產(chǎn)北京鴨的老牌生產(chǎn)商Brome Lake，投資3千萬元，把魁北克省Asbestos地區(qū)的一座之前生產(chǎn)牛肉的工廠，改建為鴨生產(chǎn)廠。這將使在未來5年鴨年產(chǎn)量翻番至400萬只。

 

    為了保持競爭力，安省的鴨生產(chǎn)商King Cole Ducks也計劃增加產(chǎn)量。預(yù)計Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry等三大加國鴨生產(chǎn)商，目前的550萬只鴨的年總產(chǎn)量將被翻番。

 

    鴨作為亞裔社區(qū)的美食，產(chǎn)品在不斷地更新。盡管鴨肉的價格比雞肉還貴，但它正在逐步取代價格暴漲的牛肉。

    MonTREAL — Despite a surge in cheap imports, Canadian duck producers are planning to boost production due to growing consumer demand spurred on by celebrity chefs and the reopening of the Mexican market.

 

    Brome Lake, the country's oldest processor of domestic Pekin duck, is spending $30 million to build a facility in a former beef plant in Asbestos, Que., that will double its annual production capacity in five years to four million birds.

 

    ontario rival King Cole Ducks also plans to increase its output to stay competitive.

 

    Canada's three largest producers, which also include B.C. supplier Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry, expect overall annual production to double from the current level of 5.5 million ducks.
