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. Additionally, a survey conducted by IDR-Paraná involving 1,517 dairy producers, with a focus on the Northern Paraná mesoregion, aims to understand the socioeconomic and technological aspects of dairy establishments to inform extension work and public policy application in the sector. These efforts are part of the state's strategy to maintain production levels, explore export opportunities, and ensure the sustainability of the dairy sector in Paraná, which is the second-largest milk producer in Brazil.
