Drought linked to El Niño has left pastures in Tungurahua province, Ecuador, short of grass, cutting milk output. Dairy farmers report grass costs up about 100%, and the province's daily output has fallen from around 500,000 litres to under 300,000.
Farmers are buying silage and concentrate feed, raising the cost of producing a litre of milk, and some are selling livestock at low prices.
Feed buyers in Ecuador face higher demand for silage and concentrates as pasture fails, which supports local prices for those feeds. Lower milk supply and forced livestock sales point to tighter regional dairy output and weaker cattle prices.
