Some attempts were undertaken to determine the effect of economical factors on the degree of milk production and also to determine the social structure of milk producers. There was established the number of individual milk producers and the amount of milk supply of different quality. It was found that a total number of individual milk producers in 1987—1989 was similar. Since 1990 a significant decrease of the amount of milk supply and the number of milk producers was noted. In 1991 the number of individual milk producers decreased by 13 per cent and the amount of supplied milk by 16 per cent comparing with 1989. Social structure of milk producers in the above period was very unsatisfactory. Among milk producers dominated those (38 per cent) that supplied from 2000 to 5000 1 of milk a year. The second group (25.4 per cent) constituted the producers supplying milk from 5000 to 10 000 l a year. A relatively large group of milk producers (27.9 per cent) delivered less than 2000 l of milk a year.
