Union Ganadera Regional de Sinaloa

The Union Ganadera Regional de Sinaloa (UGRS) is a pivotal organization representing the interests of dairy producers in the Sinaloa region. With a focus on advocating for local dairy farmers, UGRS ensures their voices are heard at both regional and national levels.

Advocacy for Improved Pricing Schemes

UGRS has been actively promoting the need for Liconsa, a major entity in the dairy industry, to enhance its purchasing capacity and introduce a differentiated pricing scheme. This initiative aims to guarantee that dairy producers receive compensation reflective of actual production costs and prevailing market conditions in their regions.

Engagement with Government Bodies

The organization has been engaging with key government bodies, including the Secretaría de Agricultura and the Presidency of Mexico. UGRS is advocating for structural solutions to support and protect national dairy production, ensuring the sustainability and growth of the dairy sector in Sinaloa and beyond.

Concerns Over Milk Imitation Products

UGRS has raised significant concerns about the rise of milk imitation products in Sinaloa. These products, which mimic milk but lack essential nutritional properties, threaten local producers' economies and consumer health. UGRS calls for stringent enforcement of labeling standards to protect genuine milk producers and ensure consumer awareness and safety.

Future Plans

The Union Ganadera Regional de Sinaloa is developing a four-year livestock recovery program. Collaborating with Sinaloa's agriculture ministry, the organization aims to cover rain-fed areas and agricultural valleys in the state. The program includes measures for animal-health surveillance, herd restocking, and more, aiming to boost the region's livestock sector.
