Abstract: La reestructuracion de sector productor de leche de Cantabria durante periodo 1990-2011 ha sido intensa en el marco del regimen de cuotas, pero aun inconclisa. La produccion esta esencialmente en las explotaciones con 300.000 y mas kilos de cuota. Resalta el progeso espectacular de la calidad higienica de la leche y el escaso en la fisico-quimica. El sistema productivo, muy intensivo, ha evolucionado hacia un esquema de alta produccion-alto coste, dificil de mantener en la situacion de volatilidad de precios de la leche y, sobre todo, de los medio de produccion (piensos, energia). La obligada competitividad, a que fuerza el mantenimiento del solido potencial productivo de la region, mas la supresion de lasa cuptas lecheras en 2015, exigen un reflexivo analisis sobre la viabilidad del modelo a medio plazo, para atenuar su excesiva dependencia de las compras de piensos fuera de la explotacion mediante un riguroso control de costes, en particular de alimentacion, y una mayor produccion aprovechando todos los recursos dispnibles y minimas inversiones, con particular atencion al incremento de superficies, mas por arrendamiento que por compra, lo que incidira favorablemente en la cuantia de los pagos directos por superficie previstos en la proxima reforma de la PAC. The restructuring of the sector producing milk during the period 1990-2001 in Cantabria has been intense under the quota system, but still unfinished. Production is mainly on farms with more 300,000 kilos. Highlight the spectacular progress of the hygienic quality of milk and low in chemical. The production system, very intensive, has evolved into a pattern of high production-high cost, difficult to maintain in the situation of volatile milk prices and, above all, the means of production (feed, energy). The competitiveness required, to maintain the strong force production potential of the region, over the abolition of milk quotas in 2015, requires a thoughtful analysis of the model's viability in the medium term to reduce its excessive dependence on feed purchases out of the farm through a rigorous cost control, including feeding, and higher production utilizing all available resources and minimal investment, with particular attention to improving surfaces, rather than lease purchase, which will impact favorably the amount of direct area payments under the forthcoming reform of the CAP.
