OTTAWA - The Canadian Dairy Commission re-
cently announced a further two percent increase in the
national Market Sharing Quota (MSQ) for industrial
milk. The increase is retroactive to August 1, 1994 and
will benefit dairy producers and processors across the
country.
The decision to revise the national quota was made
in consultation with producers, provincial governments
and processors, and the increase will be allocated to
provinces as per the provisions of the National Milk
Marketing Plan.
A review of year-end milk production statistics, but-
ter stocks and projected domestic requirements
prompted the quota change. Requirements are higher
and stocks are lower than were anticipated in July 1994
when the MSQ was set by the Canadian Milk Supply
Management Committee (CMSMC). With the in-
crease, the total MSQ for 1994-95 is established at
43.7 million hectolitres of industrial milk..
"By reacting quickly to our revised assessment of de-
mand, we hope to be able to increase milk production
in the fall toalnprove the balance between anticipated
milk supply and demand for the 1994-95 dairy year,"
said Gilles Pregent, Chairman for the Canadian Dairy
Commission.
"More and more consumers are recognizing butter as
a healthy part of the diet," said Pregent. "Increased
tourism over the past few months combined with Tess
cross-border shopping also could be important factors
in the increased consumer demand for dairy products
which has occurred. Uncertain weather conditions in
certain areas and corresponding decreases in milk pro-
duction are also factors that we are considering in in-
creasing the MSQ at this time."
Canada adopted a system of supply management for
industrial milk (used in the production of dairy prod-
ucts including cheese, ice cream and yogurt) in the ear-
ly 1970s. The system remains the cornerstone of Cana-
da's national dairy policy.
A federal -provincial agreement, the National Milk
Marketing Plan, governs milk supply management in
Canada. The Plan is applied through the CMSMC
which is chaired by the Canadian Dairy Commission
and involves producer, provincial government, proces-
sor and consumer representatives. Through the com-
mittee, the national production target - the Market
Sharing Quota - is set and adjusted periodically. The
last MSQ revision was made on August 1, 1994 when
a temporary quota increase of 2.5% implemented in
November 1993 was brought within the MSQ.
ARNIE MARTIN ATTENDS MAJOR PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
