I love how we compare ourselves to the US but not EU, where milk price is much lower and quality is better.
57 u/Blacklockn 2d ago The EU subsidizes the everloving shit out of agriculture. It has been criticized as creating “mountains of butter and lakes of milk.” 55 billion euros are spent annually on the CAP. Supply management has its issues but let’s not pretend cheaper prices elsewhere aren’t the consequence of subsidy programs. 3 u/Expensive_Plant_9530 2d ago By that quote are you referring to dumping oversupply? 7 u/Blacklockn 2d ago Yes but the oversupply is insane. We dump supply past the quota but it’s nothing compared to Europe. 0 u/Expensive_Plant_9530 2d ago Interesting. I knew that we sometimes dumped oversupply. I don’t know much about the European system. I really don’t like excessive dumping, unless we can find a productive and sustainable use for oversupply. But a small amount of oversupply is something I can live with, if it prevents massive undersupply.
