This Law establishes the State Policy to Promote Milk Production and its Derivatives in Pernambuco, with the primary objective of strengthening and developing the dairy production chain within the state. It aims to enhance the sector by facilitating access to credit for producers, promoting the adoption of appropriate technologies, and supporting the production of high‑quality milk and dairy products. Additionally, the policy seeks to improve logistics and infrastructure conditions that affect production and distribution, while encouraging institutional purchases as a mechanism to support local producers and stimulate economic activity.
