Milk producers from São Miguel fear losing 15ME due to price drops

Açoriano Oriental29 August 2026 at 19:54

Milk producers from São Miguel, in the Azores, face a serious financial threat with the price drops announced by the dairy industry. The president of the Agricultural Federation of the Azores warned that producers may lose 15 million euros in revenue by the end of the year. This loss represents a significant blow to the island's dairy sector, which is one of the main pillars of the regional economy. The federation warned about the devastating consequences that this price reduction may have for local producers, who already face difficulties with the rising production costs. The dairy sector of São Miguel is responsible for a substantial part of the Azores' agricultural production, making this crisis particularly concerning for the region.

In the 1920s, the United States faced a chaos of incompatible standards, until Herbert Hoover, later president of the country, dreamed of a universal thread. This decision to standardize screws transformed American industry and contributed to US economic domination on the world stage.

US Access to Venezuelan Oil Not Expected to Impact Market in Short Term

The agreement announced by President Donald Trump granting US access to over 65 billion barrels of oil in Venezuela is not expected to generate immediate effects on the world market. According to experts, the impact on gasoline prices in the short term remains uncertain, as the construction and modernization of the infrastructure needed to produce, transport, and refine Venezuelan heavy oil will take a long time. The agreement, negotiated with interim President Delcy Rodríguez, could attract up to $100 billion in private investments, and Venezuela has the largest known oil reserves in the world, estimated at about 303 billion barrels.

Trump closes the immigration tap and American fast food begins to feel the lack of customers

The restrictive immigration policies adopted in the United States are deeply affecting the fast food industry, with customer traffic declining in almost every month of 2025 and 2026. According to the Financial Times and the Brookings Institution, net immigration was negative for the first time in at least half a century, with nearly three million people leaving the country. This data is particularly relevant for the sector since 35% of Hispanics in the US consume fast food daily. Companies like McDonald's, Wendy's and Subway have already started adjusting their expansion plans, with the burger chain slowing new openings and the other two closing hundreds of establishments. Jack in the Box and Wingstop also attributed the sales decline to reduced consumption among Latino customers, suggesting that part of the industry may have bet on population growth that is no longer occurring.
