The book contains the contributions of a team of agricultural economists concerning milk production costs in Europe.
The analysis covers nine EC countries - namely Ireland, United Kingdom, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, France, Portugal and Italy - and Poland as a meaningful example of an East European milk producing country.
The estimates of production cost have been used by agricultural economists and policymakers for different purposes: as mesures of productivity, to provide guidelines for farm operators and in setting target prices.
Especially in recent years, the increasing interest in international competitineness gives new reasons for production cost comparisons.
Due to eterogeity in methodology and in data sources, a rigorous comparison of production cost is difficult.
Therefore, even though the book gives valuable information about cost level and structure, emphasis is put on two main topics: links between farm structure, milk utliization and production cost; data sources, cost concepts, underlying hypotesis and methodological issues.
