The article explores the optimistic forecasts of cattle and dairy entrepreneurs concerning the business's trajectory, despite differing opinions on the sustainability of price recoveries.
According to a survey conducted by CREA, 53% of cattle ranchers expect superior business results in the upcoming fiscal year compared to the previous one. However, only 24% attribute this optimism to potential cattle price recovery. Meanwhile, notable pregnancy rates have been recorded, with an estimated national average of 87% for March, paralleling 2024's figures.
The survey underscores regional differences within Argentina in livestock growth, with expected increases in regions like Oeste Arenoso (+8.6%) and Santa Fe, while Córdoba Norte faces a decrease of 3.3%. Intriguingly, 52% of CREA pork farm entrepreneurs also forecast better outcomes, with 34% banking on rising capon prices.
A critical finding of the survey notes strategic diversification by dairy operators, detached from milk price dynamics, suggesting advancements rooted in competitive advantages. Over the past four months, 49% of CREA dairy advisors reported increased use of concentrates, reflecting advantageous milk-to-feed price ratios. Future milk production is projected to grow 6.8% within the next four months, aligning with annual projections of a 7.8% national increase. This optimism, driven by historical price trends and strategic livestock nutrition, sets the stage for Argentina's cattle industry evolution.
