Argentina: Dairy and Products Annual

In 2024, Argentina's dairy production faced significant challenges, primarily due to severe weather and economic issues which led to a projected 7 percent decline in milk output, estimated at 10,708 metric tons (MT). Despite this, exports of whole milk powder (WMP) rose by 23 percent in the first seven months compared to 2023, with total WMP exports expected to increase by 15 percent by year-end, reaching 128,000 MT. Cheese exports also saw an 8 percent boost, projected to close at 108,000 MT. For 2025, a 6 percent recovery in milk production is anticipated, as well as increases in exports across major dairy products, including growth forecasted in WMP exports
