The situation for the farmers of Cimitarra, Santander, has reached critical levels due to the lack of buyers for their milk production. Fredy Mateus, president of the Magdalena Medio Livestock Breeders Association, has warned about the serious crisis facing the union, where milk is a vital source of income to maintain their livestock herds.

For two months, ranchers in the region have faced significant difficulties. According to Mateus, The high cost of milk in supermarkets has drastically reduced sales, which in turn has caused a lack of demand and the inability to sell their product.
Taking this context into account, a farmer, as a gesture of generosity, decided to give away more than 1,500 liters of milk to the inhabitants of Cimitarra. On the streets of the town, long lines of people formed who received the milk with gratitude and relief.
