Santa Catarina Agriculture and Livestock Federation (Faesc)

The Santa Catarina Agriculture and Livestock Federation, commonly known as Faesc, is a prominent organization in the dairy industry of Santa Catarina. The federation has been instrumental in managing and supporting the agricultural and livestock activities in the region, particularly in the dairy sector.

Significant Changes in Dairy Production

One of the notable trends observed under Faesc's purview is the substantial decrease in the number of milk producers in Santa Catarina. In the 1990s, the region boasted approximately 75,000 milk producers. However, by 2023, this number had dwindled to about 20,000. This shift highlights significant changes and possibly consolidation within the dairy industry over the past few decades.
