The Azores archipelago is the most suitable region for dairy production in Portugal, representing 30% of the overall Portuguese dairy production. It has a production system characterized by an average milk yield of 6216 kg/cow/year, and the predominance of pasture-based feeding and cows that have longer productive lives and lower incidence of metabolic/production diseases, such as acidosis or mastitis. The biggest problem with the Azores Islands dairy sector is the cost of transport, as the main markets are located in continental Portugal, over 1500 km away, and local dairy products have to compete with dairy products produced in mainland Portugal and in the rest of the European Union. Herein, the evolution of the dairy sector in the Azores Islands from 2007 to 2017 is presented. A SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat) analysis was performed to find potential solutions to increase the value of the Azorean dairy sector. The most relevant solution considered was the valorization of the dairy production through three major aspects: higher milk quality, namely, better organoleptic properties; lower carbon footprint (not considering transport costs); and higher levels of animal welfare. Three examples are shown of such valorization: protected denomination of origin (PDO) cheeses, the “happy cows” program, and the production of an organic milk, from the Terceira Island. Some of these programs are relatively recent, so, it will be interesting to see how their sales and acceptance by consumers evolve, particularly under the current economic framework.

亚速尔群岛的乳制品行业:增加附加值的可能性和主要制约因素

亚速尔群岛是葡萄牙最适合乳制品生产的地区,占葡萄牙乳制品总产量的 30%。其生产体系的特点是平均产奶量为 6216 公斤/牛/年,以牧场为主,奶牛生产寿命更长,代谢/生产疾病(如酸中毒或乳腺炎)的发生率较低。亚速尔群岛乳制品行业最大的问题是运输成本,因为主要市场位于 1500 多公里外的葡萄牙大陆,当地乳制品必须与葡萄牙大陆和其他地区生产的乳制品竞争欧洲联盟。本文介绍了 2007 年至 2017 年亚速尔群岛乳制品行业的演变。SWOT(优势、劣势、机会、和威胁)分析旨在寻找潜在的解决方案来增加亚速尔群岛乳制品行业的价值。考虑的最相关的解决方案是通过三个主要方面实现乳制品生产的价值:更高的牛奶质量,即更好的感官特性;降低碳足迹(不考虑运输成本);和更高水平的动物福利。展示了这种增值的三个例子:受保护的原产地名称 (PDO) 奶酪、“快乐奶牛”计划以及来自特塞拉岛的有机牛奶的生产。其中一些项目是相对较新的,因此,看看它们的销售和消费者接受度如何演变将会很有趣,特别是在当前的经济框架下。考虑的最相关的解决方案是通过三个主要方面实现乳制品生产的价值:更高的牛奶质量,即更好的感官特性;降低碳足迹(不考虑运输成本);和更高水平的动物福利。展示了这种增值的三个例子:受保护的原产地名称 (PDO) 奶酪、“快乐奶牛”计划以及来自特塞拉岛的有机牛奶的生产。其中一些项目是相对较新的,因此,看看它们的销售和消费者接受度如何演变将会很有趣,特别是在当前的经济框架下。考虑的最相关的解决方案是通过三个主要方面实现乳制品生产的价值:更高的牛奶质量,即更好的感官特性;降低碳足迹(不考虑运输成本);和更高水平的动物福利。展示了这种增值的三个例子:受保护的原产地名称 (PDO) 奶酪、“快乐奶牛”计划以及来自特塞拉岛的有机牛奶的生产。其中一些项目是相对较新的,因此,看看它们的销售和消费者接受度如何演变将会很有趣,特别是在当前的经济框架下。和更高水平的动物福利。展示了这种增值的三个例子:受保护的原产地名称 (PDO) 奶酪、“快乐奶牛”计划以及来自特塞拉岛的有机牛奶的生产。其中一些项目是相对较新的,因此,看看它们的销售和消费者接受度如何演变将会很有趣,特别是在当前的经济框架下。和更高水平的动物福利。展示了这种增值的三个例子:受保护的原产地名称 (PDO) 奶酪、“快乐奶牛”计划以及来自特塞拉岛的有机牛奶的生产。其中一些项目是相对较新的,因此,看看它们的销售和消费者接受度如何演变将会很有趣,特别是在当前的经济框架下。
