DFC's Quarterly Skim

Welcome to the latest edition of Dairy Farmers of Canada’s (DFC) Quarterly Skim, where we take a glimpse into what is happening in the marketplace and provide insight into what to expect in the upcoming months. Our goal? To help you keep tabs on how the marketplace for dairy products is evolving.

In this fourth-quarter 2025 edition, we examine the latest cost-of-production data and its impact on farmgate prices. Additionally, we analyze how import levels for selected dairy products have changed compared to last year under Canada’s international trade agreements. Finally, we review dairy sales in the Canadian market, including retail and other markets.
