UTAP vice-president in charge of agricultural production Chokri Rezgui recently stated that breeders are currently selling milk to collectors and industrialists at 1350 millimes/litre, which endangers the sustainability of their activity, in the face of high costs.
Rezgui likewise pleaded for an immediate increase in the price of milk production, which should not be less than 500 millimes / litre to avoid the collapse of the dairy industry.
He cautioned against the remarkable regression of the herd of dairy cows to 450,000 heads against 670,000 heads during the last three years, which testifies to the decline of the sector.
