Four Cent Butter Price Boost Across Canada
Canada will raise creamery butter prices by four cents per pound effective Monday while dairy and whey butter stay at current levels. The change follows a Federation of Agriculture brief urging parity with other dairy product prices and cites low butter production, labor shortages, high costs, and aging equipment as causes. Stocks in nine major cities fell sharply as Canadians faced a four ounce weekly ration. Domestic pork price ceilings will rise 24 cents per pound starting April 1 to maintain domestic-external price parity.
