Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, production of concentrated not sweetened milk and cream in MERCOSUR fluctuated, initially falling to 8,382 t in 2019 due to competition for resources with other agribusiness sectors, which constrained dairy output. In 2020, despite higher production costs from the COVID-19 pandemic, which increased prices for sanitizers and animal feed, volume rose to 8,770 t, partly supported by the growth of e-commerce and delivery services following food service closures.

Production surged to 9,681 t in 2021, boosted by the Auxilio Brasil social program that increased household purchasing power and stimulated consumption. However, output declined to 9,461 t in 2022 as formal milk production in Brazil dropped by 5% and adverse climate conditions from the La Niña phenomenon affected Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil, reducing regional supply.

By 2023, production continued to decrease, reaching 9,052 t, amid changing consumer behavior with reduced purchasing power and expectations for lower prices on dairy products. Concurrently, the region saw rising interest in functional and healthy dairy variants, while MERCOSUR technical regulations for labeling and advertising of dairy products remained in effect, shaping market conditions.
