Agriculture Roundup for Thursday May 26, 2022
MELFORT, Sask. — Canada wants to protect the domestic dairy industry by preventing further imports of British cheese.
The United Kingdom asked Canada to give greater access to Stilton and Wensleydale cheese.
The UK and Canada have started talks on a free-trade deal, including about greater co-operation on renewable energy, technology, and the digital economy.
But Canada said Britain cannot have an extra quota for its cheese, because Canadian dairy farmers might suffer as a result.
