Argentina: Dairy and Products Annual
Post forecast Argentina’s milk production for calendar year (CY) 2015 at 11.7 million tons, a three percent decrease from CY2014 USDA’s estimates. Total exports of dairy products in CY2015 are forecast at 303,000 metric tons (MT). Argentina’s dairy industry is seeking to capitalize on the opportunity to supply the Russian market in the aftermath of Russia’s food import ban on the United States, the European Union, Australia and Canada as part of the diplomatic dispute over Ukraine. Cheese is the best positioned dairy product for the Russian market.
