2015-2016: 3rd Quarter (October, November and December 2015)
Table of contents
Overview
- Nutrition North Canada (NNC) provided over $17.6 million in subsidy during October, November and December 2015. This represents an increase of 5.0% in comparison of the same period in 2014. Ten foods subsidized at the program's higher subsidy level accounted for more than three quarter of this amount: all fresh fruits, all fresh vegetables, meat, milk, bread, poultry, frozen potato products, yogurt, eggs and UHT milk.
- Of the products subsidized at the lower subsidy level, pizza, unsweetened juice (containers of more than 250 ml), ice cream, perishable combination foods and crackers received the most subsidy during the quarter. This is similar to what was reported for the 3rd quarter of 2014-2015.

Numbers in the table are preliminary. Values are subject to change.

This chart shows what percentage of total subsidy payments was applied to specific product categories between October 1, 2015 and December 30, 2015. Because non-prescription drugs and country foods shipped from northern plants received less than 1% of the subsidy payments, these categories are not shown in the chart. The chart is based on data in the table above.
