Instituto Mato-Grossense de Economia Agropecuária (Imea)

The Instituto Mato-Grossense de Economia Agropecuária (Imea) has highlighted a critical development in the dairy sector of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The region has experienced a notable decrease in milk collection, which has fallen by 14.82% compared to the first quarter of 2025. This reduction has resulted in a total collection of 86.74 million liters of milk, marking a significant impact on the local dairy market.

Key Events

This decline is primarily attributed to two main factors. Firstly, there has been the exit of a major dairy processor from the western region of Mato Grosso. This departure has had a cascading effect on the milk supply chain, affecting both producers and consumers within the area.

Secondly, there has been a reduction in the number of active milk producers. The high production costs have been cited as a leading cause, discouraging many producers from continuing their operations. This trend poses a challenge to the sustainability and growth of the dairy industry in the region.
