What is the supply management system?
Supply management in Canada’s agricultural sector
Any industry, from car manufacturing to shoe factories, tries to establish the best possible balance between supply and demand. Farm producers try to do the same thing through supply management. They manage their production so that it will align with the demand forecasts for their products. In a supply management system, demand is forecast by means of calculations, and production signals are sent out to producers based on the demand forecasts that are obtained this way.
Annual public meetings
The Canadian Dairy Commission holds a public meeting every year. At this meeting, members of senior management provide an overview of the Commission’s achievements during the previous 12 months.
The annual public meeting also provides an opportunity for the public to learn more about the Commission’s activities and ask questions of the senior management team.
The Commission publishes the slides projected at the annual public meeting, along with the opening remarks, to share this information with those who were unable to attend the meeting.
