The new organisation, Organizacion de Productores de Leche, or OPL, will be up and running from 1 January.
A governing board made up of three members from each association will run OPL.
A statement issued yesterday (29 November) said the creation of OPL was needed due to a “glut” in the milk sector and to the “significant” increase in grain prices, which were both hitting farmers’ profits.
