Abstract

The U.S. dairy industry is considering a proposal to support federal legislation to implement supply management in the form of production quotas with “market-access fees” charged to those who exceed their production quota. We describe the proposed program, examine its potential to address low and unstable producer prices, and identify some key limitations and likely unintended consequences of the program.
