Agropur

Agropur is a Canadian co-operative owned by nearly 2,700 dairy farmer members spread across five Canadian provinces; the co-operative names no external shareholders or foreign parent.

• Our Cooperative Model | Agropur vendor_statement “Owned by 2,700 dairy farmers who have joined forces to process and market the high-quality milk they produce on their farms.”
• Our Members | Agropur vendor_statement “Agropur's nearly 2,700 dairy farmer members are spread across five Canadian provinces.”

Agropur's Canadian retail brands are made at its Canadian plants, with recent capacity investment named at Don Mills (Ontario), Saint-Laurent (Quebec) and Miramichi (New Brunswick), plus the Island Farms dairy on Vancouver Island; the co-operative's ESG report lists facilities across six Canadian provinces. A separate, larger US division across five American states processed 64% of the 6.7 billion litres of milk Agropur handled in 2025, but that volume serves its own US ingredients and cheese business, not the Canadian shelf brands.

• 2025 Annual Report | Agropur vendor_statement “In Canada, major projects have been completed in the plants in Don Mills (Ontario), Saint-Laurent (Quebec) and Miramichi (New Brunswick) to increase our capacity and efficiency.”
• Agropur ESG Report 2025 vendor_statement “Facilities in six Canadian provinces: Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Québec.”
• Home | Island Farms vendor_statement “Island Farms is a dairy cooperative located on Vancouver Island since 1944.”

Head office and cooperative governance are in Longueuil, Quebec, and Canadian facilities span six provinces against five US states; Agropur states 7,000 employees across Canada and the United States combined but does not publish a country split, so this weights toward the Canadian operations the retail brands depend on.

• Our Employees | Agropur vendor_statement “All of our 7,000 employees in Canada and the United States are engaged in the same mission”
• Agropur ESG Report 2025 vendor_statement “Facilities in six Canadian provinces: Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Québec. Facilities in five US states: Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.”

Canadian dairy is supply-managed and Agropur's own farmer-members supply the milk it processes, so the milk behind its Canadian brands is Canadian; flavoured milk and specialty cheese lines likely draw some imported flavourings or cultures, estimated here as a small remainder since no ingredient-level sourcing breakdown was published.
