Book Description
Extract: Real milk prices 15-20 percent lower than in 1983 would approximately balance production and consumption under conditions projected for the dairy industry during the remainder of the eighties. Government purchase, storage, and disposal could effectively stabilize prices near this level, but these are wasteful means of raising prices and, thereby, enhancing producers' incomes. Other programs such as direct payments, supply control, and price discrimination can transfer income to farmers at less cost to society in the short run, but can lead to serious inefficiencies over time. Changes in the marketing order program to bring prices charged to processors and paid to producers more in line with the value of the services associated with the milk would contribute to the efficiency of the industry.

Economics of food processing in the United States
Author: Chester O. Jr. McCorkler
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323149413
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
Economics of Food Processing in the United States aims to provide an economic overview of the food processing industries in the United States; to explore the firm-level implications of social, economic, technological, and institutional forces for selected food processing industries; and to uncover some of the implications for consumers, raw product producers, and the national economy of the major trends observed in food industries. The book begins by evaluating the major forces shaping demand, supply, prices, and trade in processed foods. It then considers major trends in technical processes; major forces in marketing, distribution, and structure; and major trends in regulation. The next few chapters explore these trends for five specific food processing industries, which represent major types of products processed: fruits and vegetables, meat, milk, grain and soybeans, and wine. After the specific industries have been examined, the final two chapters treat these industries in the context of the national and international economy. Students preparing for careers, researchers, and industry participants who study these firms and industries and the various approaches to solving their economic and management problems will benefit from the information in this volume and from its approach to presenting the dynamics of the food processing industries.
