Gestion de l'offre et compétitivité des industries laitières au Canada

Économie rurale, 1995, vol. 229

Abstract: A survey indicates that Canadian processors achieve different performance results. Québec processors, which process half of the Canadian milk production, have been able to maintain their competitiveness along with their Americans counterparts, by specializing in products with high added value such as ice cream, yogourt and fluid milk, mainly by accepting the competitivity on domestic market. But the processors in others provinces which have rather kept specializing in products such as butter and dried milk, products for which the Goverment ensures the selling, are less competitive. Although all processors agree that the price paid to milk producers is much too high, the quota system of the Canadian dairy policy does not seem to have impeded their progress in productivity, particularly in Québec and in Ontario which account for 80 % of the entire Canadian milk industry. In fact, competitive market for high added value products has probably encourage processors to modernize.
