SZEGEDY-MASZAK, Ildikó. FREE TRADE AND AGRICULTURAL PUBLIC POLICIES FOR PRODUCERS OF MILK IN COLOMBIA. []. , 128, pp.357-381. ISSN 0041-9060.

This article aims at discussing the Santos government agricultural policies in relation to dairy farmers in Colombia. The dairy sector has been regarded as the agricultural sub-sector most negatively affected by FTAs signed by the Colombian government, especially with the United States and the European Union. Consequently, there is a need for clear public policies for milk producers in Colombia. There are some changes in the approach to agricultural policies by the Santos government. However, it will be argued that conceptual clarity is needed on the priorities of these policies, especially considering aspects of export orientation, local production and rural development.
