Strategic Investment: Milk Collection Centers Reactivated

In an effort to revitalize the dairy sector in Tabasco, the Secretaría de Desarrollo Agropecuario, Forestal y Pesquero (SEDAP) has announced the reactivation of milk collection centers in the municipalities of Balancán and Huimanguillo. This measure is a fundamental step for milk producers, providing them with a more secure and accessible market for their production. Analysts consider the reopening of these centers as a strategic investment that will benefit the region's dairy economy, which has been facing infrastructure and logistics challenges in recent years. The lack of these centers has been a significant obstacle, forcing farmers to sell their raw milk at low prices or bear the costs of transporting it long distances.

The reactivation reduces costs and milk loss, ensuring fairer prices for producers. Additionally, it promotes investment in farms, improving production quality. Not only does this move support producers, but it also positively impacts the entire supply chain. Fresh, quality milk processed locally assures consumers have access to safe dairy products, reduces dependency on imported milk, and enhances Tabasco's food security. The SEDAP program also includes technical assistance and training for producers to improve milk harvesting and animal health practices, aiming to increase dairy production efficiency and farm profitability. This shows the government's long-term commitment to developing the dairy sector.
