Butter Lines In Norway

35. Unsurprisingly, there are import tariffs on milk and cream too

It was 25 kroner per kg of butter; but, if I've read the results from the WTO correctly, it was also over 18 kroner (about $3) per kg of milk/cream of 6% or more fat content - which would make it incredibly expensive to get hold of imported cream to start making butter with. The problem does not stem from a lack of butter producing facilities, so saying 'produce it at home' doesn't help. It stems from a shortage of milk - which is not normally imported on a large scale into Norway. The area where this has hit hardest is butter (perhaps the cooperative with a near monopoly chose that, because there are butter substitutes more easily available than for plain milk, or for cheese).
