The EU-funded project LACTIMED, implemented under the CBCMed programme, has published a white paper that contains recommendations to boost the sector of typical dairy products in the Mediterranean.
The recommendations were made by actors of dairy value chains in the project’s pilot territories and focus on the following:
• Ensuring quality livestock feed to improve productivity;
• Improving food safety by improving sanitary quality and hygiene conditions;
• Promoting typical local products and supporting collective actions in this regard;
• Improving accessibility of dairy producers to bank financing to facilitate the professionalisation and structuring of value chains;
• Supporting organization of territorial networks.

“The white paper advocates for a strong and pragmatic institutional support in order to create favourable conditions for an enhanced dairy chain, which can contribute to inclusive local development,” said Aurélein Baudoin, coordinator of the LACTIMED project.
The LACTIMED project aims to strengthen the production and distribution of typical dairy products in the Mediterranean region through the coordination of local industries, the support to dairy producers and the promotion of their products on local and international markets. In order to reach these goals, a Mediterranean network will be created to increase the commercial value of these products, to foster the integration of local value chains as well as to strengthen the production and promotion on national and international markets.
