IDF World Dairy Summit 2025: An All-Around Formidable Programme Announced

With just six months remaining until the IDF World Dairy Summit 2025 in Chile, the programme for this year’s summit has been unveiled to the global dairy sector, emphasizing sustainability as the core theme.

Octavio Oltra, the International Dairy Federation’s (IDF) National Secretary in Chile, praised the diligent efforts of the Consorcio Lechero’s organizing team in preparing and coordinating a diverse programme. This programme features speakers and presenters from around the world, adhering to the standards of the International Dairy Federation, and is expected to attract around 1,000 participants from over 60 countries.

“‘Nourishing a Sustainable World,’ will be the central focus of the talks, presentations, and forums at this event. Dairy products are now more integral than ever to a healthy diet sourced from sustainable systems. The topics and speakers at this summit will provide key insights and messages to reinforce this, addressing the social, environmental, and economic importance of milk production worldwide,” Oltra highlighted.

An International Milestone for South America

The IDF World Dairy Summit 2025 will take place from 20-23 October in Santiago, Chile, followed by technical tours to various dairy production regions of the country.

Hosting the World Dairy Summit in Santiago in 2025 underscores the importance of the dairy sector to the country’s economy and its commitment to sustainable practices. This event will provide an excellent opportunity for Chile to showcase its advancements and the significant impact of the dairy sector, particularly in the dairy-producing southern part of the country where many of the technical tours will take place.
