Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, production of concentrated not sweetened milk and cream in Colombia increased from 20 075 tonnes to 20 877 tonnes. This growth was initially driven by higher raw milk output as farmers expanded production to compensate for low prices. Regulatory measures, including the implementation of Resolution 017 of 2012, promoted transparency and stability in the dairy sector, supporting continued output.

Production dipped to 20 644 tonnes in 2021 due to rising input costs, such as feed, labor, and currency depreciation. A significant rebound followed in 2022, with output reaching 21 909 tonnes, propelled by the adoption of advanced milking and cooling technologies and a USD 2 billion government support package for dairy storage and sector development. In 2023, production stabilized at 21 578 tonnes as national raw milk supply contracted under persistent cost pressures.
