Individual member countries also have dairy programs. Canada - Canada has domestic support programs and restricts dairy imports by quotas, flat prohibitions, import licensing requirements, and tariffs. The heart of its domestic dairy program is a system of production quotas. Quotas for industrial or manufacturing milk are administered by the national government. Quotas for fluid milk are administered by the provinces.
Overquota milk is subject to a heavy penalty, thus very little is marketed.
The Japanese dairy industry is about a tenth of the size of the U.S. industry. As with many of its commodities, the Japanese dairy market is one of the most protected in the world. The Japanese Livestock Industry Promotion Corporation directly controls imports and is involved in the procurement, storage, marketing and trade of products. The disparity between domestic Japanese dairy prices and world prices has widened in recent years. Dairy farmers receive a deficiency payment for manufactured milk as well.
