N.E.U.• NEWS
By Mrs. John Austin
In Aprril,- 1975 the. Federal
Govermnent announced a long
term dairy policy featuring• an
economic 'policy for adjusting •
'returns to producers giving them
assurance tb make ' long term '
investments in their dairy enter-
prises.
In Jane 1975 the Industry Trade
and Commerce Department infra-
duced a qbota system On cheese
imports to suppoi1 the Canadian
supply management program for'
industrial milk. The quota for '1975 ,
was-set at 50 million pounds'.
In November '75 the Canadian
Dairy Commission reduced the
subsidy payments for industrial
milk to 75 percent of Market Share '
Quota. as supplies were going to
exceed the 100 million- hundred-
weigtit that. the Federal Govern-
ment had 'committed itself to pay
subsidy on in the 1975-76 year.
The Federal Government an-
nounced that for the 1976-77 year
there will be a five percent cutback
to 95 million hundredweight that
subsidy will be paid on. The total
amount allocated is $262. million to
cover direct payments and market-
ing costs.
The Federal GOvernment also
announced that an iricrease$ dairy
products being imported will be
permitted to gradually rise over the
next several years until they reach
not less than 10 percent of the total
amount of manufactured dairy
products needed in this country..
Conclusion - The Canadian Dairy
Industry is being asked to share its
market by allowing imports to
nearly double over a period when
domestic production will be force-
fully reduced by at least 17.6
'percent. This .is being imposed at
the same time as, producers, in
response •to federal and provincial'
governMent persuasion and incen-
tive; have increased their produc-
tion at very considerable capital
expense to supply Canada's dom..
-estic requirements.
,Mi. Whelan, Minister of Agri-
culture, is telling farmers that they
must get • more of their returns from
the market place, in' line with long
term dairy policy. An increase in
the/ price of milk to the consumer
tends ;to. bring A drop in, consump-
tion which hurts tha dairyman.
