Industrias Lecheras de Puerto Rico, or Indulac, announced Wednesday it has struck agreements to export more than 5 million quarts of excess milk produced on the island to the Dominican Republic and other Caribbean islands to prevent dumping and open new markets for local milk.
In keeping with its commitment to support local industry, Walmart Puerto Rico announced Monday an agreement whereby it will buy 100 percent of the Ultra High Temperature milk it sells on the island from Industrias Lecheras de Puerto Rico.
Farmers grouped under the Puerto Rico Farm Bureau’s dairy sector could be forced to dump some 7 million quarts of raw milk at the farm level due to the inaction of the government agencies regulating the industry, which has left them with a surplus in production, trade group leaders said Friday.
