Sourse: dairynews.today
A local milk brand rose from the 2023 dairy crisis in Mexico, now distributing 280,000 liters daily.
The 2023 dairy crisis in Mexico, instead of being a setback, became a catalyst for the emergence and growth of a local milk brand now distributing 280,000 liters daily. This success story highlights resilience and innovation within the agro-industry, especially in the dairy sector. It illustrates how adversity can drive the creation of robust solutions for milk producers and the market.
During the 2023 crisis, many milk producers faced low prices and challenges in selling their raw milk, threatening their livelihoods. In this adverse setting, an initiative to create a farmer-controlled brand emerged, allowing them to process and directly market their dairy production. This vertically integrated model removed intermediaries, ensuring a fairer price for producers and a more accessible product for consumers.
The exponential growth of this local milk brand demonstrates a demand for quality dairy products, perceived as having higher value and often a more direct origin. By focusing on collaboration among producers, processing efficiency, and smart distribution, they not only survived the crisis but thrived to become a significant player in the national dairy industry. This success exemplifies how innovation in the value chain can transform a crisis-ridden market, emphasizing the importance of producer autonomy, new business models, and local initiatives competing effectively with larger conglomerates, positively impacting the dairy economy and regional food security.
