March 2010 Editorial
MCP Creating Change in Dairy Industry
When National All-Jersey’s Equity program was launched in 1976, one
of its two goals was the nationwide implementation of an equitable
milk pricing plan—a system that would pay for producers’ milk based
on the value of its most valuable components—protein and
fat—according to their use in consumer products.
Ten years have passed since the historic
implementation of multiple component pricing (MCP) on January 1,
2000, in seven orders producing 85% of all milk marketed under the
Federal Milk Marketing Order system. What has been the impact of
multiple component pricing for the dairy industry?
Changes in average component levels within
orders. The proponents of multiple component pricing said that
it would give dairy producers the proper economic incentive to
breed, feed and manage their herds over the long term to produce the
milk components of greatest demand by processors and consumers.
Without question, it is clear that MCP pricing signals have affected
component levels, particularly for protein.
