Abstract
Since 1987, the EU allows dairy quota transfers within member states, but the trading rules differ across member states and in time. In the Flanders case, before 1996, quota transactions happened in a free market with high quota prices, from 1996 to 2004 they have been centrally organised with a fixed lower price. This study uses a Markov chain model to quantify observed quota transactions and the resulting structural development of the Flemish dairy sector. The results show that structural development is higher during the free market period and that this has also an influence on the aggregate sector performance with respect to total production cost, nitrate emission and milk quality. With the free quota market policy, structural development would lead in 2014 to a decline of the total production costs of 3.04%, a reduction of milk quality penalty points of 20% and a decrease in the N- excretion of 2.95%. With a restricted quota mobility, structural development resulted only in improvements of 2.58% (-15.1%), 14.26% (-28.7%) and 2.20 % (-25.4%) respectively.
