Changing conditions in market organization and competitive nature of the United States dairy industry are signaling a different pricing system for milk and related products. Market conditions and demand patterns which led to adoption of the present pricing system no longer exist. The reservoir of manufacturing grade milk in Minnesota and Wisconsin is continually being depleted, as producers in that area either leave the business or shift to Grade “A” fluid outlets.A changing demand for milk and other dairy products has also contributed to the present need for a reconsideration of the milk pricing process. Per capita consumption of beverage milk has stabilized at about 292 pounds per year. There have been, however, substantial increases in the consumption rate for some manufactured products, especially cheese. Ironically, with somewhat stabilized increases in population growth, future expansion for the dairy industry may rest with the potential for increased consumption of those products traditionally serving as “residual claimants”.

<p>One of the most dependable trends in a country’s transformation from an undeveloped, to developing, and to developed country is a growing demand for dairy products and milk. As China has undergone an unprecedented transformation over the last few decades since Deng Xiaoping’s Open Door Policy, China has followed this trend of an increasing demand for dairy products. As with other industries in mainland China, the domestic dairy industry is progressing at an incredibly fast rate. Yet at the same time when China is building its own industry to meet the growing demand, trade liberalization by joining the World Trade Organization has brought intense competition from foreign milk producers such as New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. This thesis examines the factors that influence various facets of the Chinese dairy industry, including import and export trade, consumer demand, and domestic and international competition. In addition to a deep background assessment of the Chinese dairy industry and market, a Constant Market Share econometric model is utilized to assess the varying levels of influence that different factors have on the industry by using three different time periods as a model of assessment for the whole industry.</p>

Abstract Technologies being used to produce nonhuman animals who are used for meat and dairy products are viewed by some people as meaningful. Two technologies receiving scrutiny in agriculture are beta agonists that are fed to food animals to improve weight gain and cloning animals to secure offspring with specific traits. The technologies enhance the productive capacities of animals so that fewer resources are needed to produce meat and dairy products. Yet consumers are not sure they want food products with beta agonist residues and that are produced from clones. In overseeing the safety of food products and animals, legislators and regulators in the United States (US) and European Union (EU) have developed contrasting provisions regarding the usage of these technologies. An evaluation of heuristics involving information and experiences with bovine spongiform encephalopathy and animal production technologies offers support in explaining the US’s and EU’s divergent provisions.

The purpose-on the basis of the analysis of the current state and location of enterprises in the dairy industry of the republic and Almaty region, in particular, to identify the main factors that hinder its development, to develop recommendations for solving the existing problems. Methods - monographic, computational-constructive, analytical, economic-statistical, logical generalization. Results - research confirms the underdevelopment of the infrastructure for effective promotion of dairy products from producer to consumer along the production-processing-sale technological chain, especially primary milk processing; often there is a discrepancy between the required proportions between the existing production capacities of milk processing enterprises and the level of development of their raw material zones. Based on production potential of each district of a specific region and calculation of the population's demand for dairy products, a forecast for creation of agricultural cooperatives (APC) of dairy direction for purification of milk from mechanical impurities, cooling, storage and transportation in the context of districtsis presented. It is necessary to create 77 APC for the period 2021-2022, incl. 64 cooperatives for primary milk processing. Conclusions - it is recommended to merge small farms into agricultural cooperatives. The economic efficiency of organizing a cooperative milk collection point at the district level has been justified. Based on the study of the existing schemes for location of milk processing enterprises, proposals have been developed for the localization of new cooperative milk collection points in the territorial units of the region. Dairy industry enterprises need investments to renew their fixed assets. The authors note that the possibilities and advantages of cooperative principles and the potential reserve of agricultural cooperation are not yet fully realized.

The study included manufacturing of fermented dairy products by using full cream milk of four kinds of mammalian: (Buffalos, Cows, Sheep's and Goats); with the use of Lactobacillus casei as a starter for the production of fermented dairy products which had the ability to lower cholesterol percentage in the above mentioned products by (71.4, 70, 74.8 and 67.7)% respectively. The viability of Lb. casei had not been affected significantly during storage shelf life of 21days " The product shelf life " , keeping their therapeutic properties unaltered with high viable number of bacteria at time of consumption. The viable counts of the bacteria after storage period for manufactured products were (1.06× 109, 8.1× 108, 7.5× 108and 8× 108) CFU/ml respectively. These numbers represent a decrease equal to one logarithmic cycle for each of manufactured products of Cows, Sheep's and Goats milk, and the decrease of bacteria's viability of manufactured products of Buffalos milk was less than one logarithmic cycle. Results of statistical analysis showed that there was highly significant differences (P<0.05) in the viable bacterial cells counts between manufactured products. By sensory comparison of the manufactured fermented products together, the results shows that the manufactured products from Buffalos milk was the best then the manufactured products of Cows milk then Sheep's milk then goats milk

This concluding chapter summarizes the major points of the preceding chapters. For the period up to World War I, it became clear that the elites of the United States, and its businessmen on the East and West coasts in particular, saw their country as a highly dynamic and modern industrial and financial power. Based on the idea of a competitive capitalism, American big business, in the wake of the great merger wave of the late nineteenth century and congressional legislation that had banned the formation of cartels and monopolies, developed in the direction of an oligopolistic market organization. These developments shaped corporate attitudes and practices toward the domestic and international economy from 1900 onward. No less important, the emergence of the United States as a major industrial power stirred Britain and Germany into responses to the American challenge.

With its roots in ancient food molds and table art for Renaissance banquets, butter sculpture in the United States debuted during the centennial and flourished in the first quarter of the twentieth century. As the dairy industry moved from farm to regional cooperative creameries and eventually to national brands, butter sculpture appeared at fairs and expositions. Both amateur and professional sculptors used this unusual medium for busts and portraits, dairy-related subjects, and models of buildings. The ephemeral nature of the medium and the novelty of food as art drew crowds to exhibits advertising butter as the natural, healthy alternative to oleomargarine.

Much has been written about the changing structure of dairy farming in Europe in the last decade, but comparatively little has been said about the processing sector. Yet the future market for milk largely depends on the success of the dairy trade in adapting to the new market environment. Accordingly, this paper concentrates on the pressures and strategic issues facing the milk processing sector in Europe. Certainly, in recent years it has had to cope with radical changes in both the production and consumption of dairy products. After several decades of uncontrolled expansion in milk production, the introduction of milk quotas by the European Community in 1984 was a rude shock. In general, the industry was still geared to an expanding milk market. Almost overnight, it was faced with the problem of excess processing capacity.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper was to establish the contribution of value chain and productivity to trade performance in the dairy industry using evidence from Uganda.Design/methodology/approachThis study research design is cross-sectional and correlational. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey of 108 dairy farmers, processors and exporters. Data were analysed through correlation coefficients and linear regression using Statistical Package for Social Sciences.FindingsHierarchical regression results indicate that value chain and productivity contribute significantly to variances in trade performance of dairy products. Therefore, appropriate value chain processes and high levels of productivity lead to increased trade performance in the dairy industry.Research limitations/implicationsThis study focusses on trade performance of dairy products in Uganda. These research findings are useful for informing the deliberations of academicians, regulators and the business community. The results are applicable to all countries that carry out trade specifically in dairy products.Practical implicationsThe results are important for trade policy development in the dairy industry. For example, this study informs farmers, processors and exporters of dairy products how value chain activities in dairy farming can be re-aligned to achieve better quality and productivity for exportation. Similarly, the current study provides policy guidance for the relevant ministries such as ministry of trade and other players to come up with holistic policy actions aimed at improving the trade performance of dairy products in the country.Originality/valueTo the researchers' knowledge, this is the first study that provides an initial empirical evidence on the contribution of value chain and productivity on trade performance of dairy products in Uganda.
