    Peruvian authorities recently announced that from October 4, domestic evaporated milk products must be made of 100% fresh milk, and manufacturers who continue to use milk powder and other materials to make evaporated milk products must indicate their ingredients on the product bottle and change the product label to "mixed milk"
    .
    The initiative aims to improve the quality of dairy products and generate more income
    for domestic dairy farmers.
     
    Peru's "Republic newspaper" reported on October 3 that Peru's Ministry of Agricultural Development and Irrigation (Midagri) stressed that in the past 10 years, the country's average annual demand for fresh milk has grown by only 2.
    3%.
    The new regulations on light milk products are expected to increase the average annual growth rate of fresh milk demand to 5%, which will increase the income of about 452,200 dairy farmers, of which 85.
    9% are small farmers
    with only 10 cows.
     
    According to the Fourth National Agricultural Census of 2012 (IV CENAGRO2012), domestic dairy farmers account for 51.
    3% of all cattle farmers in the country (about 881,900 households), with a total of nearly 1.
    52 million dairy cows
    .
    The region with the highest production of fresh milk is Cajamarca, which produces 17.
    2% of the country's fresh milk, followed by Lima and Arequipa, which account for 16.
    7% and 16.
    4%
    of production, respectively.
     
    Saby Mauricio Alza, former dean of the College of Dietitians, said the difference between mixed milk and pure fresh milk is the amount and quality
    of protein it contains.
    Pure fresh milk has a more complete protein, and pregnant women drinking pure fresh milk will help them give birth to a baby of sufficient weight and have enough breast milk to feed
    after childbirth.
    In addition, pure fresh milk is more conducive to children's growth
