Farmgate milk price rises 2.8% for 2027

The Canadian Dairy Commission will raise the farmgate milk price by 2.8 percent, about 2.6 cents per litre, effective 1 February 2027. A carrying-charge increase brings the total cost increase for processors to 2.8245 percent.

WHY IT MATTERS

Higher regulated milk costs support Canadian dairy processing margins and dairy-based product prices. The effect on feed demand is modest.
