The Government of Paraná, in collaboration with private sector partners, is taking significant steps to address the challenges faced by the dairy cattle industry, particularly the competition with imported milk from Mercosur countries. At the 3rd State Seminar on Sustainable Milk Production, it was announced that measures including a decree to change the tax treatment for importing powdered milk and mozzarella cheese, and a bill to amend ICMS legislation, are being implemented to make imported products less competitive and support local producers.
