Le système de gestion de l’offre du secteur laitier

La gestion de l’offre dans le secteur laitier

Dans le domaine des produits laitiers, l'équilibre entre l'offre et la demande suppose un équilibre entre la production de toutes les fermes laitières et la consommation intérieure de produits laitiers. Le contrôle de la production nationale à la ferme se fait grâce aux quotas. La gestion des approvisionnements tient également compte de certaines importations au Canada et d'une partie de la production qui est expédiée sur les marchés d'exportation.
