Mexico’s Leche para el Bienestar program expanded its beneficiary registry by 45.7% over four years, reaching 7.82 million people in 2026. Its network grew to 13,592 distribution outlets across 2,239 municipalities, while the government program had purchased 665 million liters of milk from domestic farmers and aims to reach 750 million liters by year-end.
