The SIGLeA published information expected with the evolution of milk production for the month of August (remember that collects currently 88% of the milk produced at the national level, something unprecedented in Argentina). August 2019 then it turned out a +7.8% higher than the daily production of July and +2% to August 2018. The nine-month period January-August 2019 is -4% lower than the same period of 2018.
Milk production continues to grow, underpinned by a climate cool and dry in much of the dairy basin, making it ideal for the comfort of the cows that have good individual production. The explanations are increasing their reliance on grazing, and the need of rains gets pressure to these issues for the next few weeks. Having passed more than half of September it is perceived that the majority of the drums tries to maintain the level of turnover and has continued supplementing concentrates while reducing silajes to take advantage of more grass. This suggests that September will close with an increase of +6 or +7% on August. In August the price to the producer did not move and is expected to September accompany inflation. The evolution of the real price of milk and the weather will define finally, as will be the spring 2019 which starts in a few days.
