The Brazilian Agriculture and Livestock Confederation (CNA) has approached the Ministry of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services (MDIC) with a request to launch an investigation into the alleged dumping of powdered milk from Argentina. This step is taken in response to Argentina's milk production subsidies, which CNA believes have created an unfair trade environment and undermined the competitiveness of Brazilian dairy products. These subsidies are seen as the root cause of artificially low prices and detrimental effects on Brazil's dairy sector, including a decline in domestic milk production, reduced profit margins for farmers, and a threat to the sector's growth. Import data reveals that Brazil has imported significant volumes of milk powder, mainly in the form of skimmed and full milk powder, primarily from Mercosur countries like Argentina, over the past three years. The CNA is hopeful that the MDIC will expedite the investigation, which could take up to 18 months, to address the concerns surrounding subsidized dairy products and their impact on the Brazilian dairy industry.
