ducers, and dairy products are consumed by
millions of people throughout the United
States;
(3) dairy products must be readily available
and marketed efficiently to ensure that the
people of the United States receive adequate
nourishment;
(4) the maintenance and expansion of exist-
ing markets for dairy products are vital to the
welfare of milk producers and those concerned
with marketing, using, and producing dairy
products, as well as to the general economy of
the Nation; and
(5) dairy products move in interstate and
foreign commerce, and dairy products that do
not move in such channels of commerce di-
rectly burden or affect interstate commerce of
dairy products.
(b) It, therefore, is declared to be the policy of
Congress that it is in the public interest to au-
thorize the establishment, through the exercise
of the powers provided herein, of an orderly pro-
cedure for financing (through assessments on all
milk produced in the United States for commer-
cial use and on imported dairy products) and
carrying out a coordinated program of pro-
motion designed to strengthen the dairy indus-
try’s position in the marketplace and to main-
tain and expand domestic and foreign markets
and uses for fluid milk and dairy products.
Nothing in this subchapter may be construed to
provide for the control of production or other-
wise limit the right of individual milk producers
to produce milk or the right of any person to
import dairy products.
