摘要:Milk production and turnover, the two most important functions of the dairy economy, are increasing constantly. The total milk production has increased by 2.7 %/year in average and that on individual farms by 2.8 %/year, while the average increase of milk purchase amounted to 7,6 %/year in total and 9.4 %/year from individual farms. The increase varies between republics and regions, e.g. the milk purchase increase has reached a rate 15.8 % in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the same time production of individual milk products has been on the increase in a range of 2.1 % (butter) to 24.9 % (fermented milk products). On base of calculated increase rates it may be assumed that 5,300 million litres of milk will be produced and 2,010 million litres purchased in 1985. The processing capacity will amount to 6,800 ton/day. Thus the milk product manufacturing, excluding by-products, will reach a level of 1,310 million kilos. For the further progress in dairy economy a greater attention should be given to the organisation problem in future.
