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 all milk components. Its intended outcome is to support and accelerate investments which aim to increase processing capacity to ensure greater use of all milk components in Canada, support incremental market growth in Canada, or process milk in regions with significant skim milk processing deficiencies.
The Market Growth Program was developed by milk marketing boards, facilitated by the Canadian Dairy Commission (CDC) on behalf of the Canadian Milk Supply Management Committee using a stream-based approach.
Pre-Production Funding stream
The Pre-Production Funding stream supports the execution of studies during the planning stage of an investment.
Excess Capacity Stream
The Excess Capacity Stream (ECS) incentivizes investments in additional processing capacity to add value to all milk components. The Milk Surplus Valorization Plant Sub-stream (MSVPS) is a sub-stream of the ECS.
Milk Supply Stream
The Milk Supply Stream (MSS) provides access to milk for eligible products that require a stable supply of milk for their projects up to a maximum volume.
Contact Information
Both the ECS and MSS are delivered by provincial milk marketing boards. For more information about the ECS or the MSS, contact your provincial milk marketing board.
