# Brazil dairy imports hit record high as farmers' milk prices fall

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
