We started the year 2015 with negative rumours about the price of the raw material.
Production data published by the Secretary of the Dairy of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Nation are complete until November/14 so that in estimating the production December/14 using the trend of the current curve, we close the box, allowing you to develop the following graph, where we observe that the 2014 ends almost with -4,7% of the volume with respect to 2013:
According to the latest report of the export-dairy (in total a little more than 20% of the milk produced) developed by MINAGRI, in the period January-November 2014, it exported a total volume of 180.638 tons of powdered milk (our main dairy product exported) to an average value of 4.893 US$/Ton, exceeding in 35.5% of the 3.610 US$/Tn tenders of Fonterra for the same period.
The price paid to the producer is currently located in the 30% of the price to the consumer. Unless it cannot be expected to derive the primary sector of production.
