Desafios para a exportação brasileira de leite

Abstract

Although Brazil is one of the largest producers in the world, Brazilian milk is still little present internationally. This low presence abroad is due, among other reasons, to the high cost of production and its low quality. The economic crisis, from 2015, stagnated the domestic consumption and resulted in the reduction of milk supply, due to the lack of competitiveness to export. However, results found through technical and managerial assistance projects have highlighted the relevance and feasibility of increasing the efficiency of the milk production chain, through the diffusion of knowledge and technologies, to the point of making it competitive worldwide.
