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.

For dairy producers, milk pooling agreements are a way of managing the financial risks associated with the trends in domestic markets. The Canadian Dairy Commission administers these agreements on behalf of the dairy sector. The pooling of revenues from milk sales enables producers to receive an average price per hectolitre or per kilogram of components, based on total sales.

The Canadian Dairy Commission publishes financial statements three times a year. These reports have not been audited.

La gestion de l’offre dans le secteur laitier

Dans le domaine des produits laitiers, l'équilibre entre l'offre et la demande suppose un équilibre entre la production de toutes les fermes laitières et la consommation intérieure de produits laitiers. Le contrôle de la production nationale à la ferme se fait grâce aux quotas. La gestion des approvisionnements tient également compte de certaines importations au Canada et d'une partie de la production qui est expédiée sur les marchés d'exportation.

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.
