Subsidy rates for country or traditional foods are different than subsidy rates for food supplied from
the South. These foods may be subsidized when available through local stores or when purchased
from processing plants that are registered with the program.
Nutrition North Canada:
• provides the highest subsidy to the most nutritious, perishable
foods such as milk, eggs, meat, cheese, vegetables and fruit;
• subsidizes commercially produced country foods;
• continues to subsidize direct orders.
