Brazil imported a record volume of dairy products in September, equivalent to 243.1 million litres of raw milk, mainly as milk powder and cheese from Argentina and Uruguay. The surge coincided with a 5% fall in domestic farm-gate milk prices; the article notes a weaker real and suspended antidumping duties as factors that could affect future import flows.
Record imports add to Brazil’s dairy availability and compete with domestic milk, putting downward pressure on farm-gate prices. A weaker real could make imports more expensive and curb that supply pressure.
After 49 past bearish trade events, Milk (Class III) moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -4.7% to +1.5%), and -0.4% over 20.
