Ensuring the Supply of Essential Foods: The Role of Spanish Dairy Products
Source: dairynews.today
The Spanish dairy sector plays a crucial role in both nutrition and the economy, emphasizing the need for robust local milk production to ensure self-sufficiency and international competitiveness.

The dairy sector is pivotal in Spanish nutrition and economy. Dairy products are essential for a balanced diet, offering nutrients such as calcium, proteins, and vitamins.
There's an urgent need to boost local milk production to maintain self-sufficiency and strengthen Spain's international presence.
However, projections by the IFCN Dairy Research Network indicate a global decrease in milk supply by 0.2% annually until 2030 and by 0.6% until 2050.
For Spain, this means a potential 15% reduction in milk production by 2050.
Without changes, Spain might not meet its internal demand and will rely more on imports, risking the stability of the rural economy.
To counteract this, Spain must enhance milk production as a raw material, requiring regulatory conditions conducive to sector growth and competitiveness.
Currently, stringent regulations hinder this growth. Reform is essential for boosting production, job creation, and the rural economy, ensuring Spain remains a key player in the dairy market.
The future demands focus on growth, innovation, and sustainability, ensuring Spanish dairy products continue reaching both domestic and international markets.
