Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The study on which this report is based has two principal objectives: to determine whether and how much various types of laws and regulations interfere with, burden, or obstruct the movement of milk; and whether and how much they interfere with the adoption of less costly or more effective marketing methods. Where possible, the study measures the effect of regulations on price, production, and consumption. When the study was proposed, the Government for about 2 years had been accumulating large and growing stocks of dairy products. To expand the consumption of fluid milk seemed the best way to reduce these stocks and bring satisfactory returns to producers. But in exploring the opportunities for this, questions arose repeatedly about laws, regulations and controls that restrict these opportunities.
