Liconsa, a government-backed dairy company in Mexico, has announced a $7 million investment to modernize its dairy plant in Campeche. This initiative aims to enhance the plant’s production capacity, improve food security, and strengthen the national dairy sector. The revamped facility, located in Parque Industrial Bicentenario, is set to become one of the most advanced dairy plants in the country, with operations expected to commence in 2026.
A Strategic Move for Mexico’s Dairy Industry
Liconsa plays a crucial role in Mexico’s dairy sector, providing affordable, high-quality dairy products to millions of people. This investment aligns with the government’s broader strategy to boost domestic milk production, support local farmers, and improve dairy processing capabilities.
According to Abid Moo Cruz, the state manager of Liconsa in Campeche, the modernization project will double the plant’s milk production capacity, adding 55 million liters per year, bringing the total annual output to 100 million liters. This expansion is expected to enhance the supply chain and contribute to Mexico’s long-term food security goals.
Government and Regional Support
The project has garnered strong support from key regional leaders, including Campeche Governor Layda Sansores San Román, Quintana Roo Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa, and Yucatán Governor Joaquín Díaz Mena. These officials have emphasized the importance of developing the dairy industry as part of Mexico’s economic growth and rural development initiatives.
The modernization will involve an international bidding process to equip the plant with cutting-edge technology, ensuring that Liconsa remains competitive in both domestic and international markets.
Impact on Local Economy and Food Security
By increasing production capacity, Liconsa aims to reduce Mexico’s dependence on dairy imports, thereby strengthening self-sufficiency and supporting local farmers. The investment will also create new jobs in the region, driving economic growth and improving livelihoods.
Additionally, this initiative ties into the “Made in Mexico” brand, a national effort to promote locally produced goods and enhance the global reputation of Mexican dairy products.
A Step Toward a Stronger Dairy Sector
The upgraded Liconsa Dairy Plant in Campeche is set to revolutionize dairy processing in Mexico, ensuring high-quality milk production while promoting sustainability and food security. As the plant nears completion in 2026, it is expected to set a new benchmark for the country’s dairy industry and reinforce Mexico’s position as a key player in global dairy markets.
