Impact of Reduced Export Taxes on Dairy Production in Argentina

An informative study by the INTA's Leche Program team delves into the impact of reduced export levies for soy, corn, and wheat on the cost of milk production in Argentina's Pampean region.

Cost Analysis

The study conducted a cost estimation based on the methodology used in INTA's monthly “Regional Milk Production Costs” analyses, utilizing 60 productive models.

Findings

A 1.76% increase in the average production cost was recorded, with variations ranging from a minimum of 0.93% to a maximum of 2.41%.

These results are indicative, with the real impact heavily dependent on the individual cost structures influenced by the unique productive and technological characteristics of each dairy farm.
