Livestock production: Milk

Table 10. 1987 output and yield of fresh cow milk* and relative changes in output and yield: 1961-1974, 1975-1987

Source: FAO Agricultural Production Yearbook Standard Tape, 1989. Due to continuous updating of the data by FAO there may be slight discrepancies between the data in this source and data published later by FAO.

* Tape commodity code = 882. Tape units of measurement = MT and Head (milk animals).
** Total output of cow milk, fresh/number of milk cows.
*** Total output of cow milk, fresh/number of head in cattle population.

@ @ Annual growth rates are computed by least squares regression from log transformation of the data for each year of the period.

kg/an = kg per animal.
NEGL = Negligible, ie growth rate <0.05.
For the definition of income groups and list of countries in each group, see Table 1 and Annex 1.
