Field Agent Canada’s latest Canadian fluid milk report reveals that milk prices have reached record highs across the country, with increases outpacing even farm-level cost adjustments. --- ### Prices Are Climbing... Fast Since our last report in June 2024, the average price of 4L of 2% milk has increased 5.5% nationally,** **more than double the 2.3% farmgate price increase introduced earlier this year. Even more telling: **Every single market we tracked saw prices rise.** For shoppers, that means there’s no escaping higher milk prices.   ### Where You Shop Matters (A Lot) The price gap across Canada continues to widen: - **Cheapest cities:** London, ON and Regina, SK ($1.60/L) - **Most expensive:** Charlottetown, PE ($2.31/L) That’s a massive regional spread for a basic grocery item, and it’s getting worse. Atlantic Canada continues to face the highest prices, with Charlottetown seeing a **10% increase** since 2024, on top of already leading the country.   ### Milk vs. Almond Milk: The Gap Is Growing Again In 2024, plant-based alternatives were nearly price parity with milk. In 2026? That’s changed. - Milk (2L): $2.65/L - Almond (Silk): $2.99/L The price gap has widened to 11.4%, up from just 4.5% in 2024, making traditional milk the more budget-friendly choice again. ### Still Cheaper in the U.S. Even with rising costs everywhere, Canada still stands out: Milk in U.S. Walmart stores is **27% cheaper (CAD-adjusted)** than in Canada. ### What Does This Mean for Brands & Retailers? Milk is one of the most visible indicators of grocery inflation—and shoppers notice. This report highlights three key realities: 1. **Price sensitivity is rising,** especially in high-cost regions 2. **Regional pricing gaps are widening, **creating uneven shopper experiences 3. **Category dynamics are shifting, ** with milk regaining price advantage vs alternatives ### **Get the full picture.** The full report dives deeper into pricing trends, regional gaps, and what it means for your brand at retail.  *[![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6064788/789667da-c56a-4681-ab84-ae58a7105334.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6064788/789667da-c56a-4681-ab84-ae58a7105334)* [Mobile Research](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/blog/tag/mobile-research), [Grocery](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/blog/tag/grocery), [Insights Report](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/blog/tag/insights-report) - [ << Previous Post **](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/blog/virtual-store-tour-galleria-supermarket) - [**Next Post >> ](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/blog/virtual-store-tour-sungiven-foods-richmond) ## related posts ### [Dollarama by the Numbers - 5 Facts Every CPG Supplier Should Know](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/blog/dollarama-by-the-numbers) [Read More ⟶](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/blog/dollarama-by-the-numbers) ### [Virtual Store Tour - Flying Tiger Copenhagen, Toronto](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/blog/virtual-store-tour-flying-tiger-copenhagen-toronto) [Read More ⟶](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/blog/virtual-store-tour-flying-tiger-copenhagen-toronto) ### [What Are the Best Alternatives to Field Reps for Store Checks in Canada?](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/blog/what-are-the-best-alternatives-to-field-reps-for-store-checks-in-canada) [Read More ⟶](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/blog/what-are-the-best-alternatives-to-field-reps-for-store-checks-in-canada) ## For App Users ## Business Solutions ## Get in Touch [Contact Us](https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/contact-us) © 2022 Field Agent Canada.
