i'm pretty sure milk isn't imported...
the milk comes from "local" cows and
they just package it in a "Lucerne" carton

The new Ley Express had lots of fresh tomatoes today in spite of how much rain and wind hit this little pueblo Saturday night....last night it rained
like hell too, but I was so tired from the mop up that I slept right thru it 
I love the new market, it's only going to get better and the cleaning supplies isle is well stocked! I got a pretty decent new mop for 39 pesos.
Muy bien.

As crazy as it sounds, you are incorrect. Milk, along with a large number of US products have been shipped to Mexico for decades.
I remember my first visit to Aramburo's Supermercado Plaza in CSL, back in the late 80s. They had imported milk and local milk side by side. Of
course, the imported milk, that would be more appealing to the gringo tourists was priced much higher.

Caracol brand milk has a really good flavor. Is it a domestic Mexican milk?

The question is, how many residents (population) does it take to support one big supermarket like a full blown Ley? Loreto has about 14,000
population, La Paz has about a 240,000 population. Don't know exactly how many big supermarkets La Paz has altogether, but it wouldn't surprise me if
they had the equivalent of 17 such stores (240000/14000 = 17.14).

Caracol is Mexican originated milk. As for your statistical comparison, you might want to check the population of Constitucion, that has a full blown
Ley.
