> The Canadian Dairy Commission confirmed a 2.8245% increase in the farmgate price of milk used by processors, roughly just under 3 cents per litre.

## Why it matters

A higher Canadian farmgate milk price raises processor costs for dairy products, with limited direct effect on feed grain demand. The change is an administrative, annual adjustment rather than a supply shock, so the price impact on feed markets is small.
