Economies of Size inOrganic Milk Production

The emergence of large conventional dairyfarms and the continued shift of productiontoward such farms suggest that economies of sizeplay a major role in the structure of dairy farming.

Economies of size and the role it takes in thestructural changes observed in conventional milkproduction were documented by MacDonald et al.

This section reports on the relationshipbetween operation size and production costs inorganic milk production, including what size andcosts might mean for the structure of theindustry.
