The Canadian Dairy Commission has recommended a significant increase in the price of farm gate milk starting early next year, which is expected to raise the cost of milk used to make dairy products for the retail and restaurant sectors.
The Canadian Dairy Commission has recommended a significant increase in the price of farm gate milk starting early next year, which is expected to raise the cost of milk used to make dairy products for the retail and restaurant sectors.
The new prices will become official only after they are approved by provincial authorities, a decision likely to come early December 2021. "The increase will partially offset a significant rise in production costs incurred by farmers since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic," Pierre Lampron, president of Dairy Farmers of Canada, told CTVNews.ca in a statement. "For instance, the price of cattle feed has risen dramatically, along with costs of fuel, machinery, fertilizer, seeds for crops and more."
