Critical supplies are provided to Meoqui farmers to support local milk production and the dairy industry in Chihuahua.

In a move aimed at mitigating the impact of high feed costs in the agricultural sector, the government has delivered crucial supplies of feed and rolled corn to the farmers in Meoqui, Chihuahua. Managed by the Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development, this support is essential for the survival of local farms. Dairy producers and sector analysts deem these initiatives vital for maintaining the profitability and sustainability of the region's milk production.

The cost of livestock feed is one of the main challenges facing producers. The increase in maize and other grain prices has significantly raised farm operation costs, endangering their economic viability. Providing these supplies at preferential prices or for free acts as a lifeline, reducing financial pressure on producers and allowing them to continue milk production without sacrificing quality.

Support for Meoqui's farmers is also a food security measure. By ensuring the continuity of milk production, a constant supply of raw milk for dairy companies and ultimately dairy products for consumers is guaranteed. The stability of the dairy sector is crucial to prevent shortages and price volatility of milk as a staple food. It is an investment in the local economy and the population's well-being.

Such programs demonstrate the authorities' commitment to rural development and the strengthening of the dairy sector. By working closely with producers, practical and effective solutions addressing the most pressing challenges in agriculture can be implemented. Collaboration between the government and farmers is key to building a more resilient and competitive dairy industry for the long term.
