The Rural Voice, 1978-09, Page 24Cheese plants surveyed
Last August. Agriculture Canada's dairy
division launched a major survey of
specialty cheese plants in Canada. All 75
plants that make specialty cheese were
asked for their views on milk supply and
quality. the problems they face in
production and marketing and what the
federal government could do to help the
industry.
The federal government's interest in
promoting specialty cheese production is
largely due to the fact that it is a relatively
new Canadian industry. and it is growing
quickly. It is also important to find new
markets for milk. in view of the decline in
butter consumption.
Canadian specialty cheese production
rose by 14 per cent in 1977. to 119 million
pounds.
The survey found that most specialty
cheese manufacturers attribute the strong
gn *th in demand for their product to
Canadians' taste for imports from Europe.
Specialty cheese plant operators said for
the most part they arc getting enough raw
Hulk. but a few complained that lack of
supplies forced them to work at less than
capacit y.
They were also concerned about the
seasonality of milk production. The hulk of
Hulk supplies arrive in the summer. but the
demand for cheese is strongest in the
%linter.
