2020 to 2021: 3rd quarter (October, November, December 2020)
Table of contents
- Nutrition North Canada (NNC) provided over $36 million in subsidy during October, November, December 2020. This represents an increase of 52% compared to the same period last year.
- Due to COVID-19, and the pressures the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns brought onto the supply chain and communities, NNC received $25 million in extra funding to increase all subsidy rates and allow all NNC communities access to goods usually reserved for air-only communities.
- The highest subsidy level, or the targeted subsidy, accounted for 14% of total subsidy spending this quarter. The level targets frozen fruits, frozen vegetables, fresh milk and infant formula/food.
- The ten foods subsidized at the program's medium level accounted for 78% of subsidy - all fresh fruits, meat, all fresh vegetables, bread, frozen potato products, yogurt, eggs, and unsweetened juice of 250ml and less, poultry and bread products.
- The top foods subsidized at the program's lowest level accounted for about 8% of the subsidy – pizza, unsweetened juice (containers of more than 250 ml), ice cream, fresh and frozen combination foods, and bacon.
Data by product category
This table shows the amount of subsidy that was distributed by product category between September 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, and the quantity of products that were subsidized during this period.
