The MGP aims to stimulate investments for long-term market growth in Canadian dairy processing by supporting sustainable and innovative investment projects with an emphasis on the use of milk solids-non fat (SNF). Its intended outcome is to accelerate and support investments which aim to reduce structural SNF surplus, support market growth, or process milk in regions with significant skim milk surplus/processing deficiencies.
The Market Growth Program is administered by the Canadian Dairy Commission on behalf of the Canadian Milk Supply Management Committee using a stream-based approach.
Information related to the other program streams will be posted as the streams become available.
Pre-Production Funding stream
The Pre-Production Funding stream of the Market Growth Program supports investments in additional processing capacity for SNF and in the creation of new products that add value to the SNF surplus. This stream supports the execution of studies during the planning stage of an investment.
Milk Surplus Valorization Plant stream (MSVP):
This MGP stream, which aims to incentivize investments in additional processing capacity to add value to all milk components, is delivered by provincial milk marketing boards.
For more information about the MSVP stream, contact your provincial milk marketing board.
