Dairy Industry

The Canadian Dairy Commission supports the industry by developing national and regional policies on dairy production, by detecting fluctuations in demand for dairy products and in milk production, and by coordinating the pooling of milk revenues and market sharing systems. The Canadian dairy industry is governed by a supply management system.

National milk production target for Canada

The Total Quota is the national milk production target for Canada. On behalf of the industry, the Canadian Dairy Commission calculates the Total Quota on a monthly basis, according to a method set by the Canadian Milk Supply Management Committee. This target is expressed in kilograms of butterfat, and is monitored on an ongoing basis and adjusted as needed to reflect variations in supply and demand. The national quota is allocated among regional pools.
