“Dairy Protein Value Index”: The New Indicator That Measures the Real Competitiveness of Dairy Trade
Sourse: dairynews.today
South Dairy Trade (SDT) introduces an innovative economic indicator, the Dairy Protein Value Index, to assess the Southern Cone's dairy trade competitiveness.

The index, inspired by the Country Risk index, simplifies complex data into a single reference: the dollar value of each kilo of protein exported by the region. This newly developed model, based on Argentine and Uruguayan exports data including volume, protein composition, and FOB value, offers a precise reflection of the real value of exported dairy protein.
Explanation and Context
SDT explains that just as the Country Risk Index allows comparison of financial confidence among economies, the Dairy Protein Value Index measures trade efficiency and the real economic value each country captures from its exported protein.
Applications
This index is not only a technical analysis tool but also serves as a market reference for companies, media outlets, and organizations aiming to comprehend the region’s export performance beyond mere prices or volumes. As protein becomes a critical food resource globally, this indicator provides a new perspective on competitiveness by focusing on protein value rather than quantity.
