Extra produce on market?
NZPA staff correspondent Washington Dairy provisions of the extensive United States Farm Bill provide for 150,000 tonnes of extra dairy produce to be sold on world markets over each of the next three years. The sales are meant to comprise at least 100,000 tonnes of butter and 20,000 tonnes of cheese as a way of reducing American dairy surpluses. However, Senate staffers said yesterday the relevant clause, agreed to in bargaining on the bill was worded to ensure that the sales will not be disruptive to world trade.
They also acknowledge that finding markets for dairy produce in an already
tight world dairy trade would be difficult. The original clause, said that not less than 150,000 tonnes a year of dairy products should be sold from the stockpile, but it was modified with the insertion of wording that any sales should not disrupt world markets. Other clauses in the 700page bill, which was still being written last evening after eight days of bargaining between Senate and House representatives, also could have some effect on New Zealand dairy trade.
The casein clauses could have an impact as New Zealand is the largest exporter of casein to the United States.
