The Government has set December 31 as the deadline to find a solution for the General Agrarian Association of Mallorca (AgamaAccording to sources within the Balearic Islands government speaking to ARA Baleares, "This is the deadline; otherwise, we won't have any room to maneuver or reverse the situation." Sources in the primary sector added that Agama will buy milk from one of the three producers who currently supply it until October 31, 2026, but emphasized that, starting March 31, this milk will no longer be processed in Mallorca because Damm's lease agreement with Comercial Bordoy for the facilities will expire. The situation at Agama is causing concern among farmers and agricultural associations. Joan Gaià, coordinator of Unió de Pagesos, warned in the Balearic Parliament that the closure of Agama would be "an attack on the food sovereignty" of the Balearic Islands. He also listed other issues that worry farmers, such as the lack of social consideration and the effects of climate change. "What country in the world can afford to do without the dairy industry? It's very important and continues to be a loss leader in supermarkets, which is what has brought the state and Mallorcan sectors to where they are today," he stressed. Gaià lamented that there hasn't been enough self-criticism and that no one has been "brave enough" to raise their voices against the closure of Agama. "The interests of a business group cannot take precedence over those of a people. Closing Agama is an attack on the food sovereignty of the people of the Balearic Islands," he insisted.

Baltasar Martí sold milk to the General Agrarian Association of Mallorca (Agama) for 42 years. He still remembers how they handled it when he started. "We put it in 40-liter pots and loaded them onto a truck just like the ones used today to transport gravel," he says. He claims that if it were up to him, he would have closed the dairy farm in September of this year. "But Agama made me close nine months earlier than I wanted," he laments.

On the first day of the general policy debate in Parliament, the President of the Government, Marga Prohens, stated this Tuesday that "the deception in the Administration for the declaration as a strategic project conditioned to the maintenance of a symbol of the food industry such as Agama, which has not been fulfilled, will not go unpunished." As ARA Baleares advanced, the Government is considering withdrawing the declaration that the Executive granted to Agama only 20 months before the company announced that In 2026, it would stop buying milk in Mallorca.

This summer, Miquel Vanrell, the owner of the Son Carbó dairy farm (Campos) – the largest in Mallorca with 300 cows per milking – invested almost two million euros in milking machines and a cow shed, with subsidies covering nearly 700,000. However, Agama (which is its only client) has announced that it will stop buying milk in Mallorca next year because "sales have fallen significantly," as Vanrell explained to ARA Baleares.
