Conaprole Receives 5.7m Litres Daily as September Milk Intake Rises 5%

Conaprole, Uruguay’s principal dairy processor, received 5.7m litres of milk each day, according to the report. The figure is presented alongside a year-on-year increase in milk deliveries during the opening 13 days of September.

Deliveries to the company were 5% higher than in the corresponding period a year earlier. The comparison covers the first 13 days of September rather than the full month, and the reported measure concerns milk sent to the processor.

The September figure refers to the flow of milk reaching Conaprole on a daily basis. The report does not provide a separate total for the 13-day period, nor does it give a price for the milk or identify changes in processing capacity.

National production recorded a different time frame. Across Uruguay, milk output accumulated growth of 10.5% from January through July, covering the first seven months of the year.

The two reported growth rates therefore relate to separate periods and measures: a 5% annual increase in deliveries to Conaprole during the first 13 days of September, and a 10.5% increase in national production accumulated between January and July. The report provides no further figures on exports, domestic sales or the remainder of September.
