AB  - The UK dairy industry is seriously under threat from imports and
already contributes significantly to the country′s food trade deficit.
“Food from Britain” blames this shortfall on the
restrictions made on supply by milk quota. Suggests that the pricing
structure for milk and the monopoly of the Milk Marketing Board are also
significant contributory factors. “Food from Britain”
champions, among others, increased exports of British cheeses and
premium butter products for the home market, to help to redress the
balance. Promar International researchers feel that processors would be
better advised to concentrate on other types of added‐value dairy
products for home and abroad. Discusses the proposals for change at the
MMB, countered by a suggestion that only a system of regional
competitive co‐operatives would ensure a genuinely free market for the
purchase and sale of milk. Without dramatic changes in the structure of
supply, allocation systems and pricing of milk it is likely that UK
companies will continue to be overrun by imports, while finding it
increasingly difficult to penetrate the European market.
