Canada: Dairy and Products Annual
In 2017, Canadian milk, cheese, butter and skim milk powder production is expected to increase due to heightened demand and increased domestic production quotas. Imports of these products will remain close to 5-year average levels due to the import controls in place. On October 30, 2016 Canada and the EU’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) was signed and will require additional consultations between industry and the Government of Canada on TRQ management. Concessions on dairy have been granted through the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement which are equivalent to 3.25 percent of the domestic milk production.
