Sourse: dairynews.today
Local initiatives in Colombia's Tolima region aim to add value to milk by diversifying production with cheese and other derivatives.
In the municipality of Roncesvalles in Tolima, Colombia, local dairy producers are spearheading an initiative to transition from selling raw milk to transforming it into higher-value products such as cheese and yogurt. This shift aims to improve profitability and strengthen the local economy.
Facing the challenge of low prices per liter of milk, which has made production unsustainable for many families, these producers are seeking technical assistance and support from governmental and academic entities to receive training in milk industrialization processes. The goal is not only to diversify their product offerings but also to ensure a more stable and fair income for the ranchers.
By revitalizing the dairy production sector, the initiative aspires to offer a robust and sustainable business model for future generations of producers. According to sources such as El Nuevo Día and Ondas de Ibagué, this effort represents a vital push towards securing the financial stability of the region's dairy industry.
