“…Difficulty in complying with institutional requirements such as those set by Normative Instructions (NI) nos. 51, 62, 76, and 77 is another factor that negatively affects the performance of dairy producers (Defante, Damasceno, Bánkuti, & Ramos, 2019). NI 76 and 77 repealed previous NI 51 and 62, defining new rules for the production, storage, transport, and quality of milk in Brazil (Instrução Normativa n. 62, 2011;Instrução Normativa n. 31, 2018;Instrução Normativa n. 76, 2018;Instrução Normativa n. 77, 2018).…”

Highlights:Farmers' organizations improve access to market information on milk quality. Farmers' organizations improve access to technical information. Buyer-seller relationships are strengthened by farmers' organizations. Farmers' organizations improve access to information on milk quality regulations.Semina: Ciências Agrárias, Londrina, v. 41, n. 1, p. 293-304, jan./fev. 2020Casali, M. et al. AbstractMilk production has great social and economic importance in Paraná, Brazil. However, dairy farmers have abandoned the activity over the past few years because of difficulties in meeting institutional and market demands for increased milk production and quality. Information asymmetry between dairy farmers and market agents may be contributing to this scenario. It occurs when one agent in a transaction has more or better information than another. Information asymmetry can encourage opportunistic behavior and negatively affect the relationship between parties. These problems can be minimized or resolved by horizontal collaboration, such as participation in farmers' organizations, cooperatives, or associations. The aim of this study was to assess the extent of information asymmetry among dairy farmers and investigate whether participation in farmers' organizations strengthens buyer-seller relationships and stimulates compliance with milk quality standards. A total of 204 semi-structured questionnaires were applied to head farmers of dairy production systems in Paraná. Two sets of variables were analyzed: variables related to socio-economic and production characteristics and variables related to transactions between farmers and the dairy industry and the head farmer's knowledge about milk quality regulations.The second set of variables was subjected to common factor analysis, which generated four factors: F1, knowledge about institutional requirements; F2, technical support from the buyer; F3, technical knowledge; and F4, level of trust in the buyer. Dairy farmers who did not participate in farmers' organizations operated under greater information asymmetry and were disadvantaged with regard to F2, F3, and F4 (P < 0.05). Participation in horizontal collaborations can help farmers survive and thrive in the dairy activity.

“…Processing industries dominate the sector, and less power is held by dairy farms. Moreover, misalignment between production characteristics of dairy farms and institutional and market demands contributes to this scenario (Brito et al, 2015b;Defante et al, 2019;Fernandez-Stark, Bamber, & Gereffi, 2012).…”

“…All SDS, irrespective of their classification into the clusters, can be defined as smallholders' systems. Defante et al (2019) observed that only 6.3% of dairy systems in Paraná, Brazil, reached the minimum quality standards for milk traits and pointed out that smallholders face expressive difficulty in meeting the milk quality normatives.…”

Animal production systems and agribusinessFull-length research article Use of quali-quantitative feeding practices criteria in typology of smallholders' dairy production systems ABSTRACT -This study aimed to typify smallholders' dairy systems using qualiquantitative measures of feeding practices and detect the main discriminatory elements identifying the systems. We collected data from 30 farms distributed in 10 municipalities in the eastern region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, using a survey with semi-structured questions, in addition to bimonthly observations of milking and feeding practices. Multivariate analysis based on principal factors and cluster analysis were performed. Multiple linear regressions were made between the principal factors scores and variables of milk production and composition. Three principal factors with eigenvalues ≥1.0 explained 58.9% of the total variance. The original variables with the highest factor loading values were production scale and feeding practices involving greater quantities of byproducts; use of corn silage and sugarcane; and commercial and farm-made concentrate for principal factor 1, principal factor 2, and principal factor 3, respectively. Milk yield and concentrations of lactose and solids non-fat increased linearly with principal factor 1 and principal factor 3 but decreased linearly with principal factor 2. Observations were grouped into three clusters. Farm area and quantity of corn silage and byproducts were the most important variables to set the clusters. The use of quali-quantitative feeding practices criteria to characterize dairy systems is effective to identify the opportunities for improving milk production and composition. Whereas high inclusion of sugarcane as roughage was detrimental for milk production, moderate supply of concentrate and byproducts enhanced milk yield without compromising milk composition.

“…Improving milk quality; on the contrary, does not require major investment because they are closely associated with nutritional and hygienic-sanitary management (KUNDA et al, 2015;KAMANA et al, 2016). Dairy production systems that comply with quality regulations have higher productivity and better bargaining power with the industry for the marketing of milk (DEFANTE et al, 2019). In addition, non-conformity with quality regulations prompts dairy producers to operate in the informal market or even abandon the activity (SOUZA & BUAINAIN, 2013).…”

Milk quality in small farms from Southern Region of Brazil

This study aimed to evaluates some physical chemical aspects of chilled raw milk that meet Brazilian quality standards in smallholder farms from southern Region of Brazil. The fat content, crude protein (CP), total solids (TS), somatic cell count (SCC), and total plate count (TPC) of the chilled raw milk from 78 smallholder farms was analyzed between Oct 2014 and Feb 2017. It was found that 96% of the samples met the Brazilian regulations for fat content, 87% for CP, and 91% for TS. The mean values of TPC and SCC were higher than the maximum limits established by Brazilian regulations. Smallholder farms from Southern Region of Brazil produce milk with an adequate standard for the main chemical indicators. However, there is an important gap in compliance with hygienic-sanitary practices, leading to high levels of chilled raw milk that does not meet the limits of Brazilian regulations.
