- Dairy farming in Canada
-
In the 1940s butter production in Canada averaged 150,000 tonnes (150,000 long tons; 170,000 short tons) and cheese production averaged between 43,000 tonnes (42,000 long tons; 47,000 short tons) and 94,000 tonnes (93,000 long tons; 104,000 short tons). The United Kingdom received 23,000 tonnes (23,000 long tons; 25,000 short tons) in 1949.[1]
The Canadian Dairy Commission Act was passed in 1966 by the Canadian Government.[2]
In the 1970s the supply management system came into effect to regulate the supply of milk, poultry and eggs to meet consumer demand. The collective marketing ensures that imports are limited in areas where domestic products can meet demand. The federal government imposed pricing policies to safeguard the producer's livelihood.[3]
