Study Stresses Role of Independent Dairy Plants
Local independent dairy
plants are the mainstay of
the fluid milk industry in Penn
sylvania, comprising 90 per cent
of all companies and selling 52
per cent of the products, ac
cording to agricultural econo
mists at Pennsylvania State
University.
A study by M A Bagnied and
W T. Butz showed national
dairy firms accounting for 17
per cent of total fluid milk
sales. Sales by national fnms
were strongest in the Phila
delphia and Pittsburgh areas
The work was part of Bagnied’s
thesis in agricultural maiket
ing, notes Dr Butz, professor of
agricultural economics
Regional dairy cooperatives,
those with sales in one or moie
states, had nine per cent of the
market Regional independents
held seven per cent of the
sales. Local cooperatives had
five per cent of the sales
'The local independent dairies
also had a larger share of the
fluid milk sales than indepen
dent dairies in maikets of simi
lar size in other states, they
point out. Such markets were
defined as those with sales of
less than 24 million pounds
monthly.
However, in medium-large
and large markets in other
states, local independent deal
ers had larger market shares

Market shares in the fluid
milk industry were found to be
somewhat less concentrated in
Pennsylvania market areas than
in markets of comparable size
in other areas of the U S.
For the eight marketing areas
of Pennsylvania, the average
market share of the four largest
companies in each market was
59 per cent. In contrast, the
market share of the four largest
handlers in U S markets aver
aged 66 per cent.
National companies such as
dairy and food films general
ly held a lower maiket shaie in
Pennsylvania than among mar
kets in other states National
companies accounted for 29 per
cent of U S sales compaied to
22 per cent of the sales in Penn
sylvania markets.

of 1967 was used to calculate
the concentration ratios for the
