Record Milk Prices in Córdoba and Sucre Hit Industrial Collection

In October 2025, milk prices in the Colombian regions of Córdoba and Sucre reached unprecedented levels, increasing by more than 100%. This price surge, however, was accompanied by a significant reduction in the volume of milk collected by the industry. Data indicates that in August 2025, industrial milk collection fell by 400,000 liters.

Local dairy farmers and industry stakeholders are grappling with the implications of these changes. Despite the higher prices, the reduction in milk procurement suggests potential bottlenecks in market dynamics or logistical challenges within the supply chain.

The rise in prices and drop in collection may affect both regional dairy production and broader market availability, impacting consumer prices and industry stability. The reasons behind these shifts remain under scrutiny by market analysts and industry experts.

These developments highlight critical fluctuations within the dairy sector that could influence future production and pricing strategies in Colombia. Ongoing monitoring and analysis will be crucial for understanding long-term impacts on the dairy market.
