Dairy farmers ask for delay in milk price increase

The Dairy Farmers of Canada are recommending that an upcoming adjustment to the farmgate price of milk be delayed amid ongoing food inflation and pressure on the food industry to stabilize prices.

In a statement, Dairy Farmers of Canada president David Wiens said the organization recommends that the Canadian Dairy Commission delay any price adjustment on milk until further notice.

The recommendation comes after the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers (CFIG) last week called for a pause on any further increases to milk prices.

CFIG Vice president Gary Sands said things are very tough for Canadians right now and this is not the appropriate time to raise prices.
