2018 National milk production target for Canada

In October 2018, the Canadian Milk Supply Management Committee (CMSMC) adopted a revised method of calculating Total Requirements and the national milk production target (Total Quota).  The previous Total Quota model was designed in a period of stable 1-2% growth and was based on a 12-month rolling Total Requirements figure. In recent years, the increased pace of growth in the Canadian dairy industry meant that there was a lag between changes in demand being registered in the quota calculation.
