On August 1, 2017, the Government of Canada revealed details of two new programs worth C$350 million to support Canadian dairy producers and processors. The Dairy Farm Investment Program and the Dairy Processing Investment Fund are meant to increase productivity and competitiveness and prepare the dairy sector for the implementation of the Canada – European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which establishes greater access for European cheeses into Canada (two cheese TRQs totaling 17,700 metric tons – see GAIN Report CA17032).
