During the period considered Canadian dairy exports were marked by negative dynamics. Export peak was reached in 2007 with the figure amounting to CAD 283.5 million. Annual decrease in the figure considered during 2006-2009 totaled CAD 10.9 million, or 4.34%.
 
Considering export dynamics in terms of some dairy products in 2009, compared to 2008, showed decreasing of cheese, dried cream, dried whole milk, whey, and other dairy product exports. Most notable was a decrease in dried cream (-40.6%, or CAD 16.42 million) and dried whole milk shipments (-35.59%, or CAD 0.79 million). At the same time, there was a rise in exports in terms of the following product groups: butter (47.37%, or CAD 0.36 million), milk and sour cream (9.55%, or CAD 0.45 million). However, due to low absolute values of the dairy exports considered (CAD 1.12 million and CAD 5.16 million respectively), the growth given did not affect the dynamics of total dairy exports countrywide.
 
Export structure by dairy product groups is shown in Fig. 2.
