COAG requires actions to prevent the collapse of more than 20,000 farms of goat's milk
December 20, 2010
To this end, the plan includes six basic lines of action: improvement quality, definition of the model of exploitation, promoting exports, analysis of intermediary operators, genetics and promotional campaigns for the cheese mixture. In addition, COAG is working to ensure that the measures in the plan are complementary with other necessary actions, in his view. For example, the implementation of mechanisms for regulating the markets to formalize fair and stable contractual relations between large dairies and the producers, by strengthening the role of the interprofessional and promoting the adoption of standard contracts. It is also necessary to promote the transformation of goat milk, creating the regulatory framework for the elaboration of cheese on the farm as a complement of income for farmers and as a means of recovering the heritage cheesemaking in each of the producing areas. "Thousands of herdsmen are at the moment with the water to the neck." "The price crisis, joins the increase in production costs and millions of dollars investments that have assumed the producers to modernise their farms, many of them in disadvantaged areas where there are not just alternatives and whose social and environmental function is priceless"He has emphasized Carrión.
