Insights to Gain

Portuguese Dairy Production

Portuguese dairy farmers are deeply committed to their work, aiming to highlight the genetic quality of their herds. Through careful selection and management, they have achieved impressive levels of productivity that continue to improve over time.

Focused on animal welfare, product quality, and food safety, these farmers emphasize sustainable methods. They use a two-crop rotation system, planting grass and corn, to feed their herds, which shows their adaptability and dedication to producing high-quality dairy products.

Location

Naturally suited for dairy farming, this location benefits from its proximity to the Ave Valley and its fertile, deep soils. The mild Atlantic climate further enhances the region’s ideal conditions for dairy production.

For centuries, medium and small farms have dotted the landscape, cultivating lush pastures and cornfields to sustain both livestock and families. This privileged setting has yielded exceptional milk production for generations, a testament to the region’s enduring agricultural heritage.
