Tridge summary

Mexico saw a 2.1% increase in milk production in 2020, reaching 12.553 million liters, as the sector was deemed essential.

The dairy market in Mexico is valued at $16 billion annually and has potential for growth. However, demand for dairy products fell by 2% in 2020 due to unemployment and economic uncertainty.

The dairy sector faces challenges such as increasing consumption of healthy dairy products, improving competitiveness, and managing the seasonality of production.
