# Imports and increased production drive down the price of milk to producers

> Brazil's average raw-milk price paid to producers fell 5% month over month in September to R$2.76 per liter, while milk collection rose 2.16%. Greater seasonal domestic supply and increased dairy imports also contributed to lower wholesale prices for UHT milk, powdered milk and mozzarella; dairy imports rose 8.38% from August.

## Why it matters

Rising domestic production and imports expand available supply, putting downward pressure on milk and dairy-product prices. The resulting weaker producer returns could eventually constrain output, but the reported near-term effect is bearish for milk prices.
