Milk producers in Uruguay are facing a crisis due to low product prices and unprofitable business conditions, a situation worsened by a drought and falling prices for grains and other inputs. The Society of Florida Milk Producers (SPLF) has called for a meeting to discuss the crisis, which is particularly concerning given it's the pre-calving period on dairy farms, a crucial time for lactation. The SPLF suggests that Conaprole, the main dairy cooperative, could potentially increase the price it pays for milk to alleviate the situation.
