Aproleche Osorno highlights critical challenges in Chile's dairy sector including high taxes, wildlife issues, and wildcard attacks.
Aproleche Osorno, a leading association of dairy producers in the Osorno region of Chile, has raised alarms about several critical challenges threatening the viability of the dairy sector. During a crucial meeting with Deputy Daniel Lilayú, they addressed urgent issues suffocating the profitability of dairy farms. Key concerns include the alarming rise in property assessments leading to increased taxes, which are directly impacting already strained agricultural finances. Alongside these financial pressures, environmental and security challenges are also mounting.
The uncontrolled proliferation of protected species such as the choroy parrot is causing significant damage to agricultural properties, impacting crops and pastures essential for livestock. Additionally, incidents of feral dog attacks on livestock are on the rise, causing not only economic losses due to animal deaths but also constant stress for producers concerned about the safety of their herds and livelihoods. Aproleche Osorno has put forth specific and urgent demands to the authorities. They call for a comprehensive review of the fiscal appraisal system, seeking transparency and the application of technical criteria that reflect the true agricultural reality, avoiding detrimental distortions.
They have also urged for the implementation of effective controls for protected species that cause significant damage, and tougher penalties for dog owners to mitigate the devastating attacks on livestock. Deputy Daniel Lilayú has pledged his commitment to the dairy sector in Osorno, recognizing agriculture's vital role in the regional economy. He promised to channel these demands through Congress and relevant commissions, seeking to escalate producers' concerns to the legislative level and translate them into concrete solutions. This collaboration between the industry and the legislative power is crucial for discovering support pathways and ensuring the sustainability of the dairy sector in the region.
