For the improvement of prices observed in 2017, we thought that the year 2018 would be a year of strong recovery in the production of milk. But already closed the 2018 we see that the recovery was not expected and we attach due mainly to the price of the raw material of 2018 was -12% lower than in 2017 (in constant currency), aggravated this by a worse ratio of milk to the concentrated observed in the same period, marking a purchasing power of -26% lower than 2017. Finally, the year closed with 10.527 million liters of milk, representing just a volume +4,3% higher in the milk produced in the year 2018 over 2017. This growth of +4.3 percent could be attributed to climatic factors (dry summer and low incidence of insect-2018 for example) and the passage of cows from the less efficient systems to a more efficient one that tends to cause the closing of drums.
It is important to note that at the end of the year production of December 2018 was -2,1% lower than that of December 2017, anticipating the start of 2019 complicated in the reception of milk.
We are far from the record volume of the year 2015 and the link of the primary production faces in 2019 with less dairy, less cows and less price.., don't expect much from the absence of a significant recovery in the demand for milk by the link industrial.
