Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium approves production control plan

Parmigiano Reggiano Progetto Equilibrio dairy production DOP protection agricultural policy

The Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium has approved the ‘Progetto Equilibrio’ plan with a 97.9% majority to manage a 5% increase in production since the start of the year. The initiative, set for 2026 and 2027, aims to prevent market oversaturation and protect the value of the DOP product.

Key measures include economic contributions of up to 65 euros per quintal in 2027 for dairy farms that exceed their assigned production quotas. Additionally, a 5% withholding will be imposed on those selling company quotas outside the production chain. The plan awaits final approval from the Italian Ministry of Agriculture (MASAF), expected by year-end.

In related market news, the Milan Commodity Exchange reports that milk prices remain stable, though there has been a slight recovery in the maximum values for Parmigiano Reggiano. Other dairy products, including butter and cream, show stable or stagnant pricing across various regional exchanges.
