Liconsa

In 1944, the Milk Supply Welfare Program was implemented with the opening of the first milk-producing plant, under the name "Nacional Distribuidora y Reguladora, S. A. de C. V." (Nadyrsa).

In 1945, a group of businessmen, aware of the increasing in offer of milk in Mexico City, established “Lechería Nacional, S. A. de C. V.” By 1950, "Compañía Exportadora e Importadora Mexicana, S.

(CEIMSA) took on the elaboration, distribution and selling activities of imported milk, which was reprocessed in Mexico to ensure high quality and reasonable cost for disadvantaged families.

Afterwards, in 1972, the name was modified again to "Leche Industrializada Conasupo, S. A. de C. V." Finally, in 1994, during the reorganization process of the Secretariat of Social Development, the company was named Liconsa, S. A. de C.V. Today, is majorly a state-owned business devoted to the industrialization of high-quality milk and its distribution at subsidized prices, in order to contribute to the proper nutrition of millions of disadvantaged Mexicans, especially children under 12, as well as other vulnerable sectors of the population, such as women between 13 and 15 years of age, pregnant or lactating mothers, women between 45 and 59 years of age, people with chronic diseases or physically impaired, as well as elderly citizens (60 and more).

Liconsa's milk is fortified with the main nutritional elements of which most of the disadvantaged population (specially children and elderly citizens) lacks of: iron, zinc, folic acid and vitamins A, C, D, Riboflavin and Cobalamin.
