quantities
to milkfat equivalent:
(Quantity x 49% x 99.3%) |
- Apparent use of milkfat equivalent:
- 1994 = 0.844 million kg
1997 = 3.086 million kg
- National market sharing quota for milkfat:
- 1997 = 157.9 million kg
-
- MSQ displacement by imported
blends as a milkfat equivalent:
- 1997 = 2%
-
Domestic milkfat price: 1997 = $6.25/kg
-
Weighted milkfat price in butteroil blends: 1997=
$5.20/kg
-
Savings realized by ice cream and processed cheese
producers: 1997 = $3.2 million
- Estimated revenues forgone by dairy farmers
because of butteroil/sugar blend imports:
- 1997 = between $12.8 million and $30.9 million,
according to the various scenarios examined by the CITT
