The salvadoran government is moving forward with implementing concrete actions to transform the country’s dairy market, aiming to eliminate monopolistic practices and promote fairer competition for the benefit of consumers. This was announced by the Vice minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Óscar Domínguez.
According to the official, specific measures aimed at reshaping the dynamics of the dairy sector will be announced in the coming days, facilitating more equitable conditions for both producers and distributors. These actions seek to guarantee greater market transparency and prevent concentrations that limit free competition.
Domínguez noted that these changes are part of a broader strategy promoted by the government to strengthen national production, especially through the Production Increase Program, which has recently incorporated the dairy and meat sectors.
As a result of this initiative, the production chain has been strengthened in various regions of the country, particularly in the east, where small and medium-sized dairy farms are increasing their participation in the milk supply. This raw material is processed daily to produce products such as hard and soft cheese, fresh cheese, cream, and ricotta, which are then distributed in the AgroMercados.
The official emphasized that these actions not only aim to improve market conditions but also to generate greater opportunities for domestic producers, who will have access to a more competitive environment with better marketing possibilities.
Likewise, the changes are expected to have a direct impact on consumers by fostering more affordable prices and a greater diversity of products in the market.
With these measures, the Government aims to consolidate a more balanced model in the dairy sector, where domestic production plays a leading role and distortions affecting both producers and consumers are reduced.
