Brace for higher milk prices.
The Canadian Dairy Commission is recommending the price paid to farmers increase to $1.92 for every one-hundred litres beginning September 1.
The CDC says the increase will help offset increased production costs due to inflation.
It notes feed, energy, and fertilizer costs have increased 22%, 55% and 45% respectively since last August.
The price increase is also expected to have an impact on other dairy products such as cream, yogurt, cheese and butter.
The CDC says prices could fall when they are reviewed again next spring.
