All milk producers in Argentina are hopeful to be able to correct the lack of silage maize or sorghum that generated the drought with the sowing of cereals winter in the current year because of the announcement of weather normalized and possible Child in the spring. The deterioration of pastures and the delay in the sowing of verdeos and pastures 2023 adds another factor that complicates the production. We wouldn't have 11 million tons of silage corn ...these are 6 million tons of dry matter that are not and the shortage of substitutes, megafardos end, unusually, offered as a source of fiber for the cows materials that are intended for beds in sheds (husk, peanut shell, rice, etc).
In this scenario the bassist for the production of milk, stick of 1,000 barrels large establishments with a milk production increased to 6,000 liters/day, they push with their increased production. Many of them are located in areas that appear in the charts with positive balance on their milk production in the first 5 months of the year. These green columns correspond to regions with detours confined (basins South and Villa María in Córdoba and West of Buenos Aires situation where there is no other option than to continue to eat) and Bs As (West and Sea & Mountains) and Santa Fe (South) river basins that have more silo for having rained acceptably in the crop cycle.
Here comes the second half of 2023, half that of both the industry as the production estimate the most complex of the year. The strategy is to be able to plant winter crops for silage making in the spring, with the hope of covering in this way, the bump of fiber until it merges with the maize silage January 2024. This, which is not clear for the missing moisture profile in the main basins dairy (see chart of the MTF) will be key to the evolution of the production in the following months, as we believe the trend will continue and in the absence of the possibility of poor winter crop production may fall heavily in the spring 2023.
