Abstract
GALLEGOS-DANIEL, Cecilia; TADDEI-BRINGAS, Cristina and GONZALEZ-CORDOVA, Aarón F.. Overview of the dairy industry in Mexico. Estud. soc. Rev. aliment. contemp. desarro. reg. [online]. 2023, vol.33, n.61, e231251. Epub Sep 22, 2023. ISSN 2395-9169. https://doi.org/10.24836/es.v33i61.1251.
Objective:
To present an overview of the dairy industry in Mexico to assess its important as sector in the national economy as well as to emphasize new consumer trends.
Methodology:
Consisted of documentary research focused on issues related to consumer behavior in Mexico and the relevance of the dairy sector in the country and in the worldm.
Results:
The production systems are described and a brief review of the importance of milk for food and health is included.
Limitations:
Limitations of the article lie in the difficulty of including other factors involved that would allow a broader characterization of the Mexican dairy industry and the factors that drive it or are an obstacle to its expansion, which is beyond the scope of this document.
Conclusion:
The changes exhibited by the dairy industry respond to the tendency to substitute its consumption with “non-milk” or plant-based food products and to the dynamics of competition between oligopolistic firms.
