OTTAWA, ON, - Dairy Farmers of Canada issued the following statement in reaction to UK's accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP):

"The United Kingdom has now joined the CPTPP. This will provide the UK dairy exporters with access to the Canadian market.
