No. The only benefit for the producer is the assurance of having a good market price, in order to remain competitive.
During the BSE crisis, when we were in a monopoly situation in Quebec, producers received $100 for their cull cows. That was the situation we were in when we began discussions back then.
So, as far as the producer is concerned, receiving a competitive market price is the best possible return on his investment. The fact is that producers have a very limited ability to invest.
