- auxym 11y agoI'm Québécois but only a lowly engineer; Not sure which law applies, but agricultural monopolies are pretty common here. Milk and dairy products is the other well known one. So much that the productions quotas are the single most valuable part of most farming operations. Chicken and egg production is another big one.
