Dairy Direct Payment Program

March 31, 2024

Value

In 2023-24, $300 million will be made available up to March 31, 2024 in the form of direct payments to eligible supply-managed cow’s milk producers. For example, an eligible producer with 80 cows could receive around $26,500 in 2023-24.

Description

The objective of the Dairy Direct Payment Program is to support dairy producers as a result of market access commitments made under recent international trade agreements, namely the Canada–European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).

Eligible Applicants

Eligible recipients for 2022-23 are:

  • producers of cow’s milk with a valid dairy quota license registered with a provincial milk marketing board or agency as of October 31, 2022.

“Producers of cow’s milk with a valid dairy quota license” means a producer of cow’s milk holding dairy quota issued by a provincial milk marketing board. This includes producers under a new entrant assistance program with loaned quota and/or whole-farm leases with loaned quota as of October 31, 2022.

Eligible Expenses

The amount of the quota held according to the provincial milk marketing board or agency will be considered final. In the event:

  • of a whole farm lease (where 100% of the quota is leased from one producer to another for an extended period of time and is not related to a catastrophe such as a fire, sickness of the herd, or of the producer) the lessee will receive the program payment. This does not apply in the case of partial leases
  • where a producer temporarily leases their own quota or a portion of their own quota to another producer for reasons such as fire, illness with herd or illness of owner, the owner of the quota will receive the program payment

Deadline Date

The intake period for the Dairy Direct Payment Program is now closed.
