Constantly under trade attack by Washington, most recently again this week, Canada\u2019s supply management system is the envy of farmers around the world.\u00a0 And here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n
Supply management is a policy-based system where farmers of supply managed commodities – eggs, hatching eggs, chicken, turkey, and milk\u00a0 – produce to meet domestic demand\u00a0and receive a price that covers their production costs.\u00a0 The Canadian market is reliably supplied by healthy products provided by local Canadian farm families.\u00a0 Yes, protective tariffs are in place to halt over-quota imports of US poultry and dairy products.\u00a0 In the 1970\u2019s, during the Tokyo Round of the GATT, nations committed to \u201ctariffication\u201c \u2013 converting non-tariff barriers into tariffs.\u00a0 The high (+400%) tariffs on over-quota imports of US poultry and dairy products are there to guarantee a stable domestic market for Canadian farmers.\u00a0 Who produce only for the Canadian market. Receive a price that covers the cost of production of an efficient family farm. And are protected from predation by global players.\u00a0 Giving family farmers the market power to stand tall and fend off large agri-food integrators.\u00a0 Without government subsidy.\u00a0 Supporting local community and the next generation of young farmers.\u00a0 All the while keeping the land sustainable.\u00a0 On a public policy level, supply management rocks and is the envy of farmers around the world\u2026<\/p>\n
So yes, if US exports of poultry or dairy products to Canada exceed agreed upon volumes, high tariffs apply.\u00a0 For good reason.\u00a0 To protect Supply Management.\u00a0 It\u2019s a Canadian thang\u2026<\/p>\n
