Noteworthy Events in the World's Dairy Industry 1922

Division of Dairy and Poultry Products. Bureau of Agricultural Economics, United States Department of Agriculture

ABSTRACT

Canada, New Zealand, Denmark, Australia and the United States have stressed the importance of quality, especially in butter. New Zealand butter ranks today on the English market with the best Danish. The greatest cheese exporting country now is New Zealand. Denmark holds her position on the butter market by the excellency of her butter and has endeavored to produce more cheese and condensed milk for export. It has also inaugurated An inspection service for export cheese which will guarantee its quality. The dairy industry of the Netherlands would have suffered greatly, or at least temporarily in 1922, but for the fact that her factories could make other kinds of dairy products besides butter.

The significance of these efforts toward excellency of quality of butter is not without a reason, The public is becoming more and more exacting in its demand for good butter. Development of sweet cream buttermaking in the United States is designed to meet this demand which is growing rapidly.

The advantage of having factories equipped so that they can make any kind of dairy products and can change from one product to another is great. Especially is this true in small countries where the industry is thoroughly organized and is largely dependent upon export markets.

In a word, the principal events of the year indicate progress in three lines: Better quality of products; closer grading and inspection; more complete organization making possible adjustment of production to market demands. Whenever any of the principal dairy countries develops a more complete factory organization for manufacture of dairy products, classifies and grades its products more closely and utilizes to a greater extent its geographical, seasonal, climatic, or other natural condition, in the development of its industry it immediately becomes incumbent on all other dairy countries to follow with equal progress if they would maintain their position in the world's dairy markets.
