Federal Government Engaging on Food Inflation, a Good First Step says Dairy Farmers of Canada CEO

OTTAWA, ON, - Yesterday, the federal government held a meeting with Canada's major retailers to address the inflation in food products that Canadian consumers have contended with in recent years. In some cases, profit margins from big food retailers have skyrocketed compared to their pre-COVID levels. 

"Dairy farmers, like every Canadian, experience food inflation when they buy groceries for their families. In addition, they need to contend with the inflation in the price of fuel, animal feed and machinery, as well as high interest rates, all while producing food for the nation. They too want to see food inflation addressed," said the CEO of Dairy Farmers of Canada, Jacques Lefebvre.
