Milk Prices Rise in Córdoba and Sucre Amid Ongoing Dairy Challenges

The price of raw milk in the Caribbean regions of Córdoba and Sucre, Colombia, has seen a noticeable increase. This rise, however, has not translated into increased income for dairy farmers due to persistent challenges in the industry.

Colombian dairy farmers are experiencing high operational costs and a decline in formal milk collection, which are significant factors affecting their profitability. Despite the higher prices for raw milk, these challenges continue to strain farmers financially.

In addition to these issues, the formal milk collection process in these regions has decreased, adding another layer of difficulty for producers. As the costs remain high, the benefits of increased milk prices are being overshadowed by these economic pressures.

Farmers in Córdoba and Sucre are seeking solutions to improve their situation, but the ongoing economic pressures make it difficult to capitalize on the increased prices. The future of the dairy industry in these regions remains uncertain as stakeholders attempt to address these challenges.
