Description
AFSC is seeking proposals from qualified professionals to complete a strategic review third-party assessment of Livestock Price Insurance (LPI), a market-driven program that allows livestock producers to purchase protection from unpredictable downward moves in the cash market for fed cattle, feeders, and calves. The review will examine trends in loss rates and participation, review administrative efficiency, assess the program's long-term sustainability and producer behaviour, and evaluate alignment of current program design with future direction. The program started in Alberta in 2009 and expanded to other provinces, with Alberta providing operational and delivery services. This strategic review will inform the future direction of the program and aid in the development of Multilateral Agreements.
