15 years ago, yogurt maker Chobani tried to enter Canada and build a plant in Kingston, Ontario, but was blocked by regulatory and supply management barriers.
Instead of fighting it long-term, they expanded elsewhere, in the United States.
Today:
➡️They buy about 9% of all the milk produced in New York State.
➡️They process 1.6 billion pounds of milk per year in New York.
➡️They built the world’s largest yogurt plant in Idaho.
➡️They’re now building an even bigger one in Rome, New York (over 2 million square feet, 1,000 jobs).
That is the true cost of supply management.
