Uruguayan milk producers face potential wastage due to a strike at Conaprole and urge efficient handling of milk deliveries.
Uruguayan milk producers are expressing serious concern over a strike at Conaprole, which has led to the waste of milk due to delayed reception. The National Association of Milk Producers (ANPL) highlighted the impact of union actions following the closure of Plant 14 in Rivera, resulting in overflowing tanks and interruptions in milk delivery. ANPL President Álvaro Quintans has voiced worries about potential harm to primary production.
Producers are urging Conaprole officials and the union, the AOEC, to ensure that milk is received without any further delays, emphasizing their commitment to their work despite operational issues. The situation in Villa Rodríguez is tense, with approximately 40 tanker trucks each carrying 25,000 liters of milk lined up due to a 24-hour union strike, risking further waste and health issues for the livestock.
The union has refuted claims of video evidence showing milk spillage, suggesting any oversights were due to producers’ failure to comply with environmental and logistical protocols. To address the conflict, Uruguay's National Directorate of Labor (Dinatra) has called for a mediation meeting, aiming to diffuse tensions and maintain efficient milk supply chains.
This dispute underscores the vulnerabilities within Uruguay's dairy industry amid labor actions and highlights the need for better collaboration to prevent significant supply chain disruptions.
