Excerpts from the article on dairy pricing and marketing

In the 1970s, dairy became the first commodity in Canada to operate under a national supply management system. It has three main components: setting prices, controlling supBut some farmers are concerned that the proverbial milking stool is wobbly. Times have changed since supply management was brought in, and farmers are worried Canada’s tightly regulated system is under attack.

An increasing perception that milk prices are too high, coupled with renewed trade efforts by the federal government, has put pressure on the dairy industry.

Canada’s trade agreement with the European Union, for example, will allow more duty-free imported dairy products in the country, threatening to reduce market share for Canadian dairy farmers. Some farmers are worried this move signals dairy supply management could go the way of the Canadian Wheat Board, dismantled by the Conservative government in 2011.

The price farmers receive for raw milk is set by the Canadian Dairy Commission in consultation with provincial officials. When setting this “farm gate” price, dairy officials consider the cost of producing milk, consumers’ ability to pay and current economic conditions. Although dairy farmers currently receive on average up to 75 cents for a litre of milk, the price isn’t actually based on volume.

Instead, the price fluctuates based on its solid composition, the amount of butter fat, protein and lactose in the milk, as well as its intended end use. Milk for drinking fetches the highest price, for example, while milk used to make cheese, butter and other dairy products costs less. In other words, the less perishable the final product is, the less raw milk costs.
