Tecnología Ganadera Tropical (TGT), a leading dairy producer in the region, operates a highgenetic-quality AFS (Australian Friesian Sahiwal) dairy breeding herd, together with a pedigree Boer goat production program and is recognized for its efficient, low-cost, and sustainable tropical dairy production in the Yucatan Peninsula. Its herd genetics were created through the importation of 100 Australian Friesian Sahiwal (AFS) females from Australia in 2007. The proprietor, Steve Holt held the herd rights in Australia and exported to Mexico and the wider region for many years before commencing the TGT operation in 2002.
This represents an attractive opportunity for an established dairy enterprise or farming family seeking to expand or diversify in a country investing heavily in its domestic dairy and livestock production sectors.
The Campeche economy is now shifting toward diversification and food security. President Claudia Sheinbaum has identified milk, rice, and sugar as national priorities, and in response to Mexico’s dependence on milk imports, the government has launched a plan to invest in new dairy processing facilities, guarantee prices, and improve distribution. These efforts are supported by a range of incentives for dairy farmers, including subsidies, preferential credit lines, production-friendly policies, and the construction of a new pasteurisation plant.
Charles Whitaker, Managing Partner at Brown&Co, said: “This is a great opportunity for a young, entrepreneurial dairy farmer, or dairy farming family to invest in an enterprise on a far lower capital base than traditional developed dairy markets of Europe, UK, US, New Zealand, etc., to build a substantial and profitable business in dairy production and/or livestock breeding.”
Founded in 2002 by Australian Steven Holt, TGT focuses on the genetic improvement of AFS dairy cattle and Boer goats, based on comprehensive management and breeding programs.
The company owns the freehold titles to two adjoining ranches: Coyote Flaco and San Antonio Cayal, totaling a contiguous 1,562 hectares (3,858 acres) legitimized under registered property titles.
The property is divided into 120 parcels, securely fenced and with permanent water and internal roads.
Comprising 350 hectares of improved pasture and crops and 1,200 hectares of regenerative agroforestry. The farm currently runs 671 head of cattle and 274 Boer goats (at Oct 2025), with scope for significant production growth and stock capacity increases.
Key features include:
• Productivity – 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 high-genetic-merit AFS cattle and Pedigree Boer goats both with strong local market demand.
• Strong ESG practices, including low environmental impact, forest conservation through agroforestry systems, sustainable water capture and storage and future potential to generate natural capital revenue income streams.
The business is well positioned for further growth through additional pasture development and herd expansion. Offered on a walk-in, walk-out basis as a turnkey operation with staff in place, TGT combines productivity, sustainability, and cost efficiency, with added potential to generate natural capital revenues and asset value growth.
Located on the Yucatán Peninsula, Campeche borders Quintana Roo and Yucatán and is regarded as one of Mexico’s safest states.
The farm, which comes with extensive livestock handling facilities, a principal residence/farmhouse and staff accommodation is an hour’s drive from the state’s capital, also named Campeche (which is 5 hours by car from Cancún). Campeche is a tropical region with the rainy season running from May to November, the farm receives an average of 940 mm of rain annually.
