Susaf-SC: A New Dawn for Small Dairies in Santa Catarina

In the heart of Santa Catarina, a region known for its rich dairy tradition, Susaf-SC emerges as a beacon of hope for family-run, artisanal, and small-scale dairy businesses. This certification is designed to bridge the gap for these dairies, offering them an opportunity to expand their market reach beyond municipal confines.

About Susaf-SC

Susaf-SC stands for "Sistema Unificado Estadual de Sanidade Agroindustrial Familiar, Artesanal e de Pequeno Porte de Santa Catarina." It provides an intermediate certification option for dairies that are currently too small to enter the state or federal inspection systems but are eager to grow beyond local markets.

Significance for Local Dairies

Prior to the inception of Susaf-SC, many small dairy producers found themselves constrained by the limitations of municipal sales, unable to scale up due to the stringent requirements of larger inspection systems. Susaf-SC offers a tailored solution, enabling these dairies to thrive and contribute more significantly to the regional economy.
