Agama will no longer buy milk from Mallorca's dairy farms.

PalmThe crisis in the Mallorcan dairy sector continues to worsen, and a new source of concern has emerged that could jeopardize the economic viability of the island's dairies: Agama, which belongs to the Damm group, has announced that it will no longer purchase milk from them starting next year.

This new chapter in the crisis of the dairy sector in Mallorca could mean the disappearance of the large companies in the sector and, in turn, fatal for the farmers dedicated to dairy farms.

It must be remembered that the crisis began in 2023, when Agama announced that would reduce milk purchases from Mallorca's dairy farms by 40%.. At the time, the company claimed it was making this decision because it had a surplus of 4.5 million liters of milk per year.

At that time, in addition to the farmers, the Balearic Government sounded the alarm and stated that Agama's decision would be a "very hard blow" to the sector.
