Maple Leaf Foods said on its third-quarter earnings call that it will raise prices for its food products in the first quarter of next year. The company cited higher costs for live poultry, up 8% year over year, along with fuel surcharges up 17% and increases in labour, packaging and ingredients.
Rising poultry, fuel and packaging costs are being passed through to retail prices, which signals that processors see persistent cost inflation into 2027. For feed buyers, it confirms strong chicken-sector cost pressure, though the announcement itself does not directly move grain or meal prices.
