Reports on the subsidy (2017-2018: 3rd Quarter)
Table of contents
Overview
- Nutrition North Canada (NNC) provided over $19.4 million in subsidy during October, November, and December 2017. This represents an increase of 4.8% compared to the same period in 2016-2017.
- 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, milk, meat, bread, frozen potato products, eggs, poultry, yogurt, and UHT milk.
- Of the products subsidized at the lower subsidy level, unsweetened juice (containers of more than 250ml), pizza, ice cream, bacon and crackers received the most subsidies during the quarter. Bacon replaced perishable combination foods in this quarter, but the most subsidized items in the lower subsidy level remained similar to what was reported for the 3rd quarter of 2016-2017.
- The quarterly report takes into account the addition of the new communities eligible to receive a full subsidy per kilogram. These communities represent 15% of the total kilograms of eligible food shipped by air for this quarter.
