Abstract

This paper examines the presentsupply of milk to the urban inhabitant ofMexico City, paying particular attention tocurrent themes of market liberalization,sustainable development, and democratization.This is facilitated by an infrastructure withinand without the metropolitan zone and coexistswith a large importation of milk from theinternational market, much being sold at lowprices to low income groups. Reduced statequality regulation has enabled the use of theseimports in industrialized milk products. Giventhe integration of international and nationalsources in milk supply, simply increasingMexican production will not reduce imports, andthe NAFTA trade pact is unlikely to address theresource exploitation problems faced bynational production.
