The dairy industry in Norway is very regulated. It is *one* private owned
dairy plant ( is that the term for the company refining milk ?). The rest
is
companies owned by the state, but run as free market industry (sort of),

I don't know his in detail, but they spend lots of money on ads. They also
appearntly struggle to keep their position.

Reading declarations on pre-processed food, I know they sell their vaste
products wherever they are able to.
