Sistema FAEP: Pioneering Educational Excellence in the Dairy Industry

Sistema FAEP stands as a distinguished organization within the dairy sector, renowned for its commitment to advancing educational and research capabilities. The organization has recently announced a strategic collaboration with Sistema CNA to construct a Center of Excellence in Castro. This development underscores Sistema FAEP's dedication to fostering innovation and education in the dairy industry.

Location and Facilities

The upcoming Center of Excellence will be strategically located next to the Agroleite Technology Park in Castro. The center will cover an area of four hectares, featuring 4,300 square meters of advanced facilities. These will include modern classrooms, state-of-the-art laboratories, and comprehensive administrative areas, all designed to create an optimal environment for learning and research.

Significant Events and Future Plans

The collaboration with Sistema CNA marks a significant milestone in Sistema FAEP's journey. This partnership reflects a shared vision of educational excellence and industry advancement. The new center aims to provide cutting-edge resources and training opportunities for dairy industry professionals, reinforcing Sistema FAEP's leadership role in agricultural education and innovation.

In addition, Sistema FAEP is actively involved in initiatives such as the Prêmio Queijos do Paraná, designed to certify high-quality artisanal cheese producers. This effort highlights the organization's commitment to promoting quality and excellence within the dairy sector. Ágide Eduardo Meneguette, president of Sistema FAEP, emphasized the importance of discussing new pricing methods to protect producers amid volatility in input prices. The Prêmio Queijos do Paraná is encouraging cheese production as an additional income source.

Sistema FAEP has also participated in the development of a framework for producing artisanal cheeses made with raw milk, emphasizing the need to assist the artisanal sector by defining protocols. The organization, along with others, organizes the Prêmio Queijos do Paraná to strengthen the milk supply chain and encourage quality.

Sistema FAEP organized the construction tender for the dairy-training center after the foundation stone was laid on August 6th, 2025. They were involved in the licensing process, ensuring a technically correct submission.

Sistema FAEP is one of the organizations involved in the management committee of Prêmio Queijos do Paraná, alongside Instituto de Desenvolvimento Rural do Paraná (IDR-Paraná), Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas (Sebrae-PR), Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Comercial do Paraná (Senac-PR), and Sindicato da Indústria de Laticínios e Produtos Derivados do Paraná (Sindileite-PR).
