Socialist MEP André Franqueira Rodrigues questioned the European Commission about the situation of the dairy sector in the Azores. His intervention is due to the reductions in milk prices paid to producers in the region, a situation that is expected to worsen further during the current month.
Franqueira Rodrigues wants to know what measures the European Commission has planned to address this crisis in the Azorean dairy sector, where producers face increasing financial difficulties due to the constant decline in the values received for milk.
The Azores are one of the main milk-producing regions in Portugal, and the sector has been affected by economic pressures that put at risk the sustainability of local producers and the entire associated production chain.
