Maple Leaf Food has announced plans to buy pig farms in Central Saskatchewan from a group of companies known as Polar Pork.
The deal includes two nursery barns and two sow barns and is expected to close in June 2022
Maple Leaf says the acquisition will enhance their overall pig supply and substantially increase its pig production capacity in the province, with the new locations having the potential to add another 140,000 pigs to Maple Leaf Foods.
The company says they have plans to invest up to $27 million in the barns over time, inclusive of acquisition costs and capital investments to maximize capacity and add further animal care enrichments.
