2016-2017: 1st Quarter (April, May and June 2016)
Table of contents
Overview
- Nutrition North Canada (NNC) provided over $16.2 million in subsidy during April, May and June 2016. This represents a decrease of 3.7% compared to the same period in 2015-2016. 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, yogurt, frozen potato products, eggs, poultry and unsweetened juice in individual-size TetraPaks (250ml or less).
- Of the products subsidized at the lower subsidy level, unsweetened juice (containers of more than 250 ml), pizza, ice cream, crackers and perishable combination foods received the most subsidy during the quarter. This is similar to what was reported for the 1st quarter of 2015-2016.
- The decline in this quarter comes mainly from Nunavut, where the contribution paid by the program fell 6.8% compared to the same period last year. A similar situation was recorded in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories, with declines of 5.1% and 4.7%. Quebec and Ontario slightly offset this by recording increases of 2.8% and 2.1%.
- In Nunavut, products like frozen french fries (and other potato products), fresh and frozen poultry, fresh and frozen pizzas, ready-to-eat cereals, frozen vegetables, unsweetened juice in large containers (more than 250 ml) declined by 20% or a little more compare to the same quarter last year. Other products like fresh and frozen meat, bread and frozen vegetables declined by 12% to 14%. Only a few products like whole milk, unsweetened juice in small container (250 ml or less), frozen fruit and eggs stayed mainly the same as last year or recorded a little increase (eggs).
