Goat farming, milk production, milk processing,

The goat breeding, milk production, and processing sector encompasses the raising of dairy goats as well as the production and processing of goat's milk into specialized food products with a regional and often artisanal character. It is characterized by high standards for animal health, feeding, hygiene, and quality-assured processing along the entire value chain. At the same time, direct marketing, sustainable farm management, and the targeted marketing of niche and specialty products are gaining in importance, while structural change, volatile markets, and economic pressures pose challenges for many farms. This ensures that the sector remains crucial for differentiated dairy products, regional value creation, and resilient agricultural and food systems.
