Spain's Minister of Agriculture, Ricardo Full[/INST] Planas, has emphasized the need for a new regulation to regulate the beef sector, following previous regulations on pigs and poultry. The aim is to support medium and small farms and establish a profitability mechanism through fair pricing. The minister is concerned about the decline in dairy cattle farms, which he fears could lead to small farms being overshadowed by larger ones. The minister will focus on maintaining a balance between competitiveness and social and territorial importance. The dairy sector, which contributes around 13,000 million euros annually and employs 60,000 people, is currently facing a profitability crisis due to increased production costs.
