Dairy Strategy: Campeche Launches New Dairy Hub
Source: dairynews.today
In a bold move to strengthen the dairy industry in Southeastern Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum's 'Plan Campeche' has initiated the establishment of a new dairy hub in Melchor Ocampo.

This ambitious project seeks to transform the state's productive capacity in a region historically less focused on intensive dairy farming. The initiative aims to increase the local production of raw milk, reduce dependency on imports, and create a shorter, more efficient dairy value chain. The core objective of this dairy center is to ensure a steady supply of raw milk while improving infrastructure and introducing technology to elevate livestock productivity.
This strategy is expected to stabilize consumer prices and empower local producers by integrating small and medium-sized farmers into cooperatives, providing them with financial credit, technical training, and essential tools for quality maintenance. Addressing both logistical and environmental challenges, Campeche must adapt to the warm climate of the southeast, investing in technologies to manage thermal stress in cattle and efficiently manage water and forage resources. The project's sustainability will depend on maintaining high production levels without compromising the region's natural resources.
While this new initiative holds great promise for the regional economy, employment generation, and dairy supply strength, its long-term success hinges on meticulous technical execution and active participation from local producers. As the logistics and execution unfold, the project represents both a high-risk and high-reward scenario for the region's agro-industrial sector.
