Is it easier to find quality dairy in the tropics or in temperate climates? Easier to produce in either? Interested in both a farmers' and an overall agronomy points of view.
I know the variety of cattle makes a difference, but don't know much beyond that. I'm happy I can find good quality grass-fed jersey milk locally for ~$7/gallon. The only tropical location I've spent time in was the Philippines, and I didn't see much available, except one restaurant saying they made cheese in-house from water buffalo milk.
Interesting that I found this exchange: cattle in the tropics tend to produce higher fat milk?
