Dairyland is a dairy business that operates in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Now owned by Saputo Dairy Foods Canada, Dairyland was originally an operating arm of BC dairy farmers' cooperatives and was legally named Agrifoods International Cooperative Ltd. at the time of the sale of the majority of its assets to Saputo Incorporated. Its products are sold across Canada.
Dairyworld Foods, a Canadian-based dairy cooperative, was purchased by Saputo Inc. in 2001. Dairyworld Foods (previously known as Agrifoods International Cooperative Ltd.), produces milk and a range of dairy and other food products which are sold across Canada at large retailers. Dairyworld was created in 1992 as a result of a merger of Dairyland in BC and Alpha and Nu-Maid in Alberta. In November 2009, Dairyland products were replaced in Ontario by Neilson after Saputo's acquisition of the William Neilson brand from George Weston Limited.
