Bolivian Dairy Producers Demand Price Adjustment Amid Profitability Crisis

Bolivian dairy producers are calling on the government to initiate talks and adjust the official price of milk. They have set a 72-hour deadline for the authorities to respond. The producers argue that the current pricing structure is unsustainable and is leading to a crisis in profitability.

The demand for a price adjustment comes as dairy farmers face increasing production costs. They emphasize the need for a fair pricing model that reflects the economic realities of milk production. According to the producers, the current price does not cover the costs incurred in the production process, leading to financial strain.

Representatives of the dairy industry in Bolivia have highlighted that without a change in pricing policy, the sector could face significant challenges. They are urging the government to consider the long-term viability of the dairy industry and to engage in constructive dialogue to find a solution.
