This was stated by a Board member of the Council of Dairy farmers of Ontario Henry Oosterhoff in discussions during the Motor Rally "Way to milk", reports The DairyNews. The Motor Rally started in Canada on July 16.

Answering the question why some international companies, for example, Feihe or Coca-Cola are building their plants in Canada, Oosterhoff said – "the integration of new major international players in the Canadian market is due to its ability to keep prices at the level that is beneficial to the Canadian party. The big players are willing to buy the product, sometimes even at world prices".

- The Chinese firm Feihe not only sells products to China, it also sells brand and name, which we are very happy about. Coca-Cola Corporation buys large amounts of milk, paying for them in accordance with a global level. There number of consumers who claim lactose intolerance is growing, but they return for high protein and fat content to the consumption of milk. That's why Coca-Cola continues stable procurement of raw materials, – said Oosterhoff.

A member of the Board of the Ontario farmers' organization added that the percentage of export sales is quite small.

- If we talk about the rules within which we play and cooperate with the World trade organization, we can say that the percentage of sales of milk powder has increased. The share of premium quality products for export is small, stressed Oosterhoff.

The expert confirmed that the system of pricing for raw milk limits the possibility of exporting milk to world markets.

It should be reminded, on July 16 the international Motor Rally "Way to milk" started in Canada. More than 40 people from Russia, representing the industry of milk production and processing, take part in the event. Participants of the Motor Rally have already listened to the lectures of leading experts in the feeding of dairy cattle and milk production, as well as got acquainted with the road rules of Canada.
