Increasing Productivity in the Fluid Milk Processing Sector Through Changes in Market Organization and Structure

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1973, vol. 5, issue 2, 45-50

Abstract: It is well recognized that a number of factors, basically technological in nature but having significant economic effects, have made feasible a drastic restructuring of the fluid milk industry. This is the economic outgrowth of developments that have been shifting the economies of scale in processing sharply to the right, that have all but eliminated home route delivery, that have improved quality and shelf life of the product, and that have provided methods for handling and moving milk over wide areas at low costs.
