Uruguay's Dairy Surge: Milk Deliveries Up 5.7% in the First Half of 2025

Uruguay's dairy industry has shown a significant revival in 2025, marked by a 5.7% increase in milk deliveries during the first semester. According to reports by Blasina y Asociados, the production exceeded 923 million liters, marking a robust performance after challenging years. June's output was particularly notable, with a 10% increase despite usually being a lower production month due to winter conditions. This growth is attributed to favorable weather, efficient management, and improved pricing for milk producers, fostering confidence and stability across the dairy supply chain.

Crucially, for dairy processing and export sectors, the increased milk supply allows companies to optimize operations, meet rising domestic and international demands, and strengthen Uruguay's position as a reliable dairy exporter. The revival in milk production bodes well for reaching annual volumes akin to the industry's best years, offering a counterpoint to past hardships from droughts and price volatility.
