Milk is pictured at a grocery store in North Vancouver on Sept. 24, 2018. (The Canadian Press/Jonathan Hayward) The Canadian Dairy Commission (CDC) plans to increase the price of farm gate milk on Feb. 1, 2022, which is expected to push up the cost of other dairy products .
“The increase in producers’ revenues will partially offset increased production costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic which caused revenues to remain below the cost of production,” the CDC said in a statement on its website, adding that feed, energy, and fertilizer costs have been especially impacted by the pandemic.
The decision was made after the CDC conducted a review of milk prices in October, as well as several other costs used in administering the supply management system. The new prices will be announced once they are approved by provincial authorities in December.
After the policy is implemented, the price of milk used by processors who make dairy products for the retail and restaurant sectors will increase by 8.4 percent. There will also be a 5 percent increase in milk processing costs such as in packaging, labour, and transportation, the CDC said.
The change will also affect butter-related products, with the support price for butter used by the CDC in its storage programs to increase by 12.4 percent (from $8.7149 to $9.7923 per kg).
The CDC’s butter storage fees will be reduced from by 33 percent. The Crown corporation stores a certain amount of butter to ensure an adequate supply throughout the year and to prevent shortages.
“The impact of these adjustments on retail prices will depend on many factors such as manufacturing, transportation, distribution, and packaging costs throughout the supply chain,” the CDC said.

Over the past five years, the consumer price index for dairy increased by 7.4 percent, compared to 11.8 percent for meat, 20.6 percent for eggs, and 7.7 percent for fish, according to the CDC.
Sylvain Charlebois, director of Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab, told CTV News that the 8.4 percent price increase is “a precedent,” and that there hasn’t been a recommendation for such a large price increase in the commission’s 54-year history.While he […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
