National Institute of Statistics and Census

The National Institute of Statistics and Census, based in Panama, plays a pivotal role in providing statistical data that influences the understanding of various market sectors, including the dairy industry. Recently, the Institute released data highlighting a noticeable decline in the production of processed milk products.

Significant Events

Between January and April 2025, and the same period in 2026, there was a marked reduction in the output of evaporated, condensed, and powdered milk. The production dropped from 5.85 million kg to 3.81 million kg. This decline represents a substantial decrease in processed milk categories, which might impact the dairy market in Panama.
