By 1990, Ontario was the home of over 9300 dairy farms with over 450,000 cows. Over 1.3 billion dollars of milk was produced resulting in a total exceeding 4 billion in dairy product sales at the retail level. We can infer that the growth in the dairy industry was due to a dramatic increase in milk production per cow over the past 10 years due to genetic screening. An emphasis on genetic screening is inevitable; for instance, researchers at the University of Guelph have successfully cloned dairy calves. As a result, approximately 30% of Ontario dairy farmers have become breeders and derive a significant amount of revenue from the sale of breeding stock. Emphasis on genetic breeding and herd management is on the rise as the Ontario Milk Marketing Board issued quotas to limit the amount of milk that can be delivered to processors. However, we see a decline in the number of dairy herds within Ontario that are a part of a milk testing program from 7100 in 1985 to 6000 in 1990. John Meek believed this trend would continue unless proper action was taken. Lastly, technological advances have allowed for electronic milk testing systems,

In 1990, there were over 9300 dairy farms in Ontario housing almost 450,000 cows. The farm-gate value of milk produced exceeded 1.3 billion dollars. At the retail level, dairy product sales in Ontario exceeded 4 billion dollars. The number of dairy herds in Ontario on a milk-testing program had declined from about 7100 in 1985 to 6000 in 1990. Moreover, a continued decrease was projected.

The dairy industry is an integral part of Canadian agriculture. It is the third largest

will result in lower prices, more variety in dairy products, and an increase in quality from

In this essay I will assume the role as an employee for the maker of a leading brand of low-calorie, frozen microwavable food chain. Using the data from 26 supermarkets around the country for the month of April and the equation data that has been provided to me, I will compute the elasticity for each independent variable as well as determine the implications for each of the computed elasticities for the business in terms of short-term and long-term pricing strategies. Based on these calculations I will recommend whether the firm should or should not cut its price to increase its market share. Lastly, with the understanding of the concept on

Table 4.1 presents the characteristics of the milk market participant and non-participant households. There are statistically significant differences between the two groups on 17 covariates. Husbands in participant households are on average older (mean 50) than husbands in non-participant households (mean 47). In terms of remoteness, participant households are located closer to the main road and milk collection centers (MCC) (2.84 and 2.79km respectively) compared to non-participant household (5.61 and 5.6km). Participant households have significantly larger household size (7.9) compared to non-participant households (6.6). The number of female members is also significantly larger in participant (4.2) compared to non-participant households (3.1).

Though, many consumers are against the use of rbST to increase milk production there is still a group that is for the hormone. This group of consumers believe that due to the increased supply of milk, the prices will decrease. The impact of the increase milk supply with not only lower milk prices, but also permit the opportunity for the consumer to have a plethora of milk products (Dhar,

Most of your dairy products consumed are coming from either a Holstein or a Jersey cow. These two cows have grown very popular in the United States and it’s due to their large amounts of milk produced. The Jersey cow has higher percent components in milk so, the producers believe that “it’s better for the marketplace”. The Jersey cow also has less reproductive problems and it’s more food efficient. There has been several researches on each cow but they haven’t really been compared. The cows are so unalike that it’s hard to compare the two, it’s similar to comparing apples and oranges. There are the differences in body weight, milk, food diet and milk component yields. An adult Jersey averages about 1,000 pounds, and a Holstein would average 1,400 to 1,500 pounds. Since there is such a vast

Canada 's dairy sector operates under a supply management system based on planned domestic production, supervised pricing and strict controls on dairy product imports. The system was adopted for industrial milk in the early 1970s to address the unstable prices, uncertain supplies and fluctuating producers and processor revenues which were common in the 1950s and 1960s. By enforcing this system, farmers attempt to strike the most accurate balance between supply and demand of dairy products (Canadian Dairy Commission, 2010).

Due to the foreign, powdered milk flooding the market, the people who work on the dairy farm cannot compete to sell their products and ultimately lose their jobs. You did not consider the fact that people can lose their jobs due to foreign competitions

Since the demand for the brand has traditionally outstripped supply, the company can easily and without loss charge a premium from its customers. As mentioned the company sells its products at a 100% markup and which in turn translate into increased revenues.

Strengths of this brand include: it is the 4th largest marketer, brand longevity, and it has a large/high awareness in big cities. Its’ weaknesses are: low market share, low market coverage, limited bottlers’ network, relatively low advertising

Which brings us to the quality of the milk, lots of commercial farms put steroids in there cows to produce more milk than a regular cow could produce, prolactin, steroids including estrogens, progesterone, corticoids, and androgens, these are just some of the steroids commercial farmers inject in there cows. Sometimes when a cow produces too much milk they could develop mastitis in cows, mastitis is an infection or inflammation in the udders which makes them produce chunky milk it can be potentially fatal in the mammary gland and very expensive for the dairy commercial/industrial farms says HDB dairy, if the udders of a dairy cow doesn 't work they often get shot and get butchered for meat just because the farm was pushing them to hard
