If not, why do so many people think they are?Second, is the domestic market for milk products competitive or characterized by monopolyand price fixing? If it is competitive, why do people feel that milk prices are too high? Third, will the government’s price registration and control policy lower milk prices? If not, what are some alternative policies that the government could consider to help achieve the goal oflower and more stable milk product prices for consumers?
