Sourse: dairynews.today
Tamaulipas promotes productive projects through collaboration between ITACE/ICAT and the Milk for Welfare program to enhance the quality and collection of local milk.
Tamaulipas, Mexico, has established a strategic alliance that links technical training and employment skills with the agricultural sector and social food supply. The Instituto Tamaulipeco de Capacitación para el Empleo (ITACE) and the Instituto de Capacitación para el Trabajo (ICAT) have signed a collaboration agreement with the federal program Milk for Welfare, operated through Liconsa.
This agreement is crucial for generating productive projects in communities, strengthening the local dairy value chain from the ground up. The central objective of this synergy is twofold: to increase the milk collection and processing capacity of the social program in the region and to offer high-level training to young people and adults in key agro-industry areas. Dairy producers and rural labor will benefit from the transfer of technical knowledge in herd management, raw milk quality, animal health, and biosecurity practices.
This raises the standard of dairy production in Tamaulipas and its potential sale to large buyers like Liconsa. For dairy economy analysts, the participation of the Milk for Welfare program in this agreement is a powerful economic development mechanism. By ensuring that local producers' raw milk is purchased at a reference or guarantee price, financial certainty is injected into farms. In return, educational institutions contribute to improving supply quality, ensuring that the product intended for social supply meets rigorous nutritional and safety standards.
The agreement also addresses the need to add value in the primary sector. It aims to promote the creation of small businesses or cooperatives dedicated to dairy processing and other agricultural products, supported by technical training provided by ITACE and ICAT. This diversification reduces exclusive dependence on raw milk sales, allowing producers to partake in more profitable segments and strengthening the regional economy of Tamaulipas.
