Nope. We produce regular, full jersey and a2 milk in the valley I live in. The local farmer owned manufacturer processes it and we pay maybe 20-40 cents per liter price difference for the different milks. Their product is sold both around the state and with a fair bit of business exporting to china. If you pay more your local milk industry just lacks competition.

This is in Australia btw, my parents actually agist land to Mark the local young bloke who took up the reigns from many of the aging dairy farmers and leased their lands/consolidated their operations. He runs herds of dairy cattle and wagyu beef up and down the valley. Keeps the place looking good, doesn't over stock it either like the dogs fontera or some of those other kiwi dairy groups.

A gallon is 3.8 liters, so GP's math is not far off.

Yeah it's terrible when people have more options for products they purchase.

I mean it kind of is in this case.

A2 Milk claims to be a registered trademark[1], yet it's just a product that has been produced for generations already since it's just a type of milk produced by specific type of cow.

Maybe so, but could you please not post unsubstantive comments here?

so commenting on the price of a product being described in posted articled is unsubstantive?

EDIT: It's clear that this thread has been brigaded by A2 proponents. You should unflag my comment.

You didn't do that; you made a snarky guess about the price based on your opinion of a generic ideological category. That is unsubstantive.

The thread isn't being "brigaded by A2 proponents", and insinuating that without evidence actually breaks another site guideline. Could you please (re-)read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow the rules when posting here?
