Earlier Report Observations

The concentrated milk and cream market in MERCOSUR experienced a general upward trend in volume from 2018 to 2023, expanding from 65 thousand tons to 81 thousand tons despite a contraction in 2020. In value terms, the market more than doubled, climbing from 124 million US dollars to 224 million US dollars, reflecting stronger price levels in later years.

Growth in 2023 was facilitated by rising productivity on remaining dairy farms as the number of producers continued to fall, boosting domestic supply. Furthermore, the expansion of supermarket and hypermarket networks across the region, along with a broader range of value-added dairy items, contributed to higher consumption of concentrated milk and cream.
