The US Department of Agriculture's report forecasts a 5% decrease in Brazil's milk production in 2022 due to adverse weather conditions and consumer demand-related issues, with a projected recovery of 3.6% in 2023. The dairy herd is anticipated to grow slightly in 2022 and 2023, influenced by milk prices and inflation. Fluid milk consumption is expected to decline in 2022 but rise slightly in 2023. Brazil remains a net importer of dairy products, particularly powdered milk and cheese, with milk exports on a steady rise since 2018, reaching 12 thousand tons in 2022. The report underscores the challenges faced by Brazilian dairy farmers, such as high production costs and the impact of La Ninã, while highlighting the potential for export growth despite domestic market limitations.
