Nicaragua counting on bovine traceability to conquer US market 3 minutes read
Managua, Feb 2 (EFE).- At Maria Cristina Mena and Pedro Antonio Sevilla Molina’s San Antonio ranch located in the town of Morrito in Nicaragua’s Rio San Juan department, cattle roam fertile grasslands wearing numbered earrings, their ID.
When this family of cattle producers sell a calf or milk, the industrial plant and the dairy collection and processing plant know that it comes from San Antonio, a fertile land of 95 hectares located near Lake Nicaragua, where grassland and aquifers abound.
In Los Planes, the Campo Cerda family farm located in Paiwas, a remote and mountainous municipality in the Autonomous Region of the South Caribbean (RACS) of Nicaragua, the 50 animals that produce 50 liters of milk daily, also wear IDs on their ears.
