American Cheese Production Shifts Lead to Canada Canada Trade Shift
A historical report notes that twenty years ago the United States supplied most of Britain’s cheese while Canada was a smaller exporter. By 1904 Canada's exports rose above 31 million pounds, surpassing U.S. shipments, as U.S. production failed to keep up with rising domestic demand. The analysis cites Consul-General HolloWay of Halifax and compares per capita output, noting Canada filled the gap left by U.S. withdrawal rather than harming American production.
