Sask Milk, Regina, SK

SaskMilk was established in 2010 as a producer marketing board under The Agri-Food Act, 2004. SaskMilk’s general role and responsibility is to design and implement dairy policies and programs for the benefit of producers and other industry stakeholders.

The SaskMilk Board of Directors is comprised of nine active dairy producers and elected by the province’s licensed dairy producers. The Board is charged with a number of responsibilities including the purchase of producer milk, the transportation of milk to licensed processors, compensating licensed producers through a multiple-component pricing system, enforcement of facility and quality standards, and managing production levels in conjunction with national and regional marketing agreements.

SaskMilk has a new “Milk West” promotion partnership with Dairy Farmers of Manitoba, BC Dairy Association, and Alberta Milk to promote to consumers the benefits of consuming dairy products.
