Milk production in Argentina to 2022

The year 2022 finally closed with a similar volume of milk produced in 2021. After starting the year with increases year-on-year significant drought more than the last 100 years led to a shortage of grazing lands, limited availability of fodder, and that, combined with the increase in feed costs exacerbated with the Dollar Soy I and II, and the delay in the price of milk to the producer, beat strong in the last quarter of 2022, leaving the production of the year in 11.557 million litres of milk, just 5 million liters by the top of 2021 (+0,04%).

In the graph below you can see the dynamics of the remission of milk 2022, and one can imagine that the fall year-on-year to maintain minimally the first quarter of 2023. The rains gave life to the corn late in life (there are virtually no corn first date) but if all goes well, the silage again later which is common with the first (with the early late a month after, with regular cycles late three months later...but the producer planted the seed that I had and usually does not have much early).

Contribution to provincial overall volume

The proportions contributed by each province to the litraje total for the year 2022 is maintained with the province of Córdoba leading, followed by Santa Fe and then to Buenos Aires. Then after the 4° - producing province is Among the Rivers, followed by Santiago del Estero and La Pampa. Although, according to records of SENASA, are milked cows in 23 provinces, in these 6 provinces is the 98.8 percent of the total number of dairy cows in the country

Production in the block of the 5 major exporting countries

Except Argentina and the united States that remained, the rest of the exporters declined in production being the more serious Australia with -7% and strong as well with -4% less New Zealand. We will see the impact that this holds on the volumes exported in 2023, and the trend in production given that it is perceived as impairing structural environmental issues in NZ and out of the business in Australia.
