New Producer Program

New Producer Program

The New Producer Program (NPP) was established with the intent to provide BC residents who have an interest in egg production and agriculture but are from outside the regulated supply chain, an opportunity to contribute to the sustainability and renewal of the regulated egg sector in BC.

Future New Producer Program draws will be posted on this page a minimum of 28 days prior to the application deadline. To keep the process fair, no notification list is kept by BC Egg. Interested applicants should check this web page regularly to ensure they do not miss a future draw.
