The document outlines the dairy farm industry value chain flow chart. It shows that raw milk from independent farms is transported by coordinating companies like Agrimark to processing plants like Garelick and Dean Foods, which package and label over 80% of the fluid milk and packaging markets on the East Coast. The processing plants and coordinating transport companies face competition from independent farms, trucking, and other processing operations in the dairy industry value chain.
