agree  Balaban Cerit

  -> Thanks, Balaban.
disagree  Charlesp: according to the text, in the singular, ie "per" kilogram, so to say "one dollar per kilograms of milk solids" sounds odd
8 hrs
  -> Indeed it is singular in the context. My answer is still correct since the asker is requesting the general meaning of the acronym.
