It’s a case of passing along increased prices to the consumer.
Costs for dairy farmers have increased by 45-55 per cent since last August and those increases will be reflected to the consumer for a second time this year as the cost of milk is set to rise again.
You can expect to see milk go up by close to two cents per litre, or 2.5 per cent, by September according to the Canadian Dairy Commission.
Milk already went up in February by six cents a litre, or 8.4 per cent.
Dairy has only increased by less than 8 per cent in the last five years, compared to 14 per cent for meat, 21 per cent for eggs, and 32 per cent for fish in a statement from the CDC.
