Poland ranks top of best places to produce milk

POLAND is one of the best places to produce milk, according to the International Farm Comparison Network's 2005 analysis - but that could change fast.

The worldwide association of agricultural scientists, advisers and farmers rated a 50-cow herd in Poland as one of the most competitive situations for milk production in 2005, along with the following farm types: Argentina (1,400 cows), Pakistan (3 and 10 cows), Australia (600 cows) and Chile (43 cows).

IFCN compared 102 dairy farming situations in 33 countries.
