One of the largest and most important dairy farms in south-eastern Mexico, operating 1562 hectares in the Campeche state, is on the market with Brown&Co.
Tecnología Ganadera Tropical (TGT), one of the region’s largest dairy producers, comes with professional management and a high genetic quality AFS breeding multiplication programme.
Offering efficiency, sustainability, and productivity as well as low costs and the potential to generate natural capital revenues too, the business is offered for sale on a walk-in walk-out basis, as a turnkey model, with a management team and staff in place.
It is suitable potentially for an existing dairy farmer, or farming business or farming family looking to expand, or diversify into profitable production within a country that seeks to support and grow its domestic dairy and agricultural production. The farm has potential for growth boosted by current investment and support to in the sector from the Mexican Government and demand for milk.
The Campeche economy is dominated by offshore oil and gas, but there is a strong shift towards diversification and food security with the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, declaring that milk, rice and sugar should become a main focus.
As a result, there are real incentives being offered to dairy farmers in Mexico – with guaranteed-prices schemes, subsidies, preferential credit lines, production friendly policies, and the construction of a new pasteurisation plant.
Charles Whitaker, Managing Partner, Brown&Co, said: “This is a great opportunity for a young, entrepreneurial dairy farmer or dairy farming family to invest on an enterprise on a far lower capital base than traditional developed dairy markets of Europe, UK, US, and New Zealand to build a substantial business in dairy and/or breeding.”
TGT is a sustainable agricultural company established in 2002 by Australian Steven Holt and dedicated to the genetic improvement of AFS (Australian Friesian Sahiwal) dairy cattle and Boer goats, based on comprehensive management programmes and constant improvement of process.
The company manages and own the freehold titles of 1,562 hectares (3,858 acres) including two adjoining ranches; Coyote Flaco and San Antonio Cayal.
The farm is divided into 120 fields, securely fenced with permanent water and internal road access, legitimised under registered property titles.
Situated in a location with a favourable climate and abundant underground water supplies, land use is made up of 350 hectares of improved pastures and cultivations and 1200 hectares of regenerative agroforestry which varies in condition across the property.
TGT manages 671 head of cattle and 274 head of Boer goats, though the company has potential for significant expansion of production.
It boasts:
- Productivity – with a milking parlour capable of milking 300 cows, the operation currently attains an average raw milk price of $0.60 USD per litre – higher than the average in Campeche
- Flexible production, including crop cultivation as well as the breeding of the high-genetic-merit AFS cattle and Boer goats.
- Strong ESG practices, including high standards for animal welfare, low environmental impact, forest conservation through agroforestry systems, sustainable water capture and storage and future potential to generate natural capital revenue.
Campeche is located on the Yucatán Peninsula in the southeastern region of the country, bordering the state of Quintana Roo to the east and Yucatán to the north. It is listed as among the safest states in Mexico.
The farm, which comes with extensive livestock handling facility, a principal residence/farmhouse and staff accommodation is an hour’s drive from the state’s capital, also named Campeche (5 hours by car from Cancun International Airport). Campeche is a tropical region with the rainy season running from May to November, the farm receives 940 mm or rain annually.
