Uruguay is targeting Indonesia and Vietnam to expand dairy exports
Uruguay’s official mission is seeking to develop new dairy business in Indonesia and Vietnam, two Asian markets identified in the source as having strong potential. The initiative forms part of efforts to broaden the destinations for Uruguay’s dairy exports.
Indonesia has authorised the entry of Uruguayan dairy products this year. That decision gives Uruguay access to a market that the official mission is now examining for further commercial opportunities.
The mission’s work in Indonesia is focused on advancing business in a market where imports of Uruguayan dairy products have only recently been permitted. The source does not specify the products covered by the authorisation, the value of potential sales or the volume that could be exported.
Vietnam already has commercial activity involving Uruguayan dairy products. The source specifically records operations involving butter and whey, making those products part of the existing trade between Uruguay and the Vietnamese market.
The mission is therefore addressing two different stages of market development. In Indonesia, Uruguay is pursuing opportunities after the market opened to its dairy products this year. In Vietnam, it is seeking to advance business in a market where butter and whey transactions are already taking place.
No prices, shipment volumes, companies or dates for the mission’s individual meetings are provided in the source. It also does not state whether the current operations in Vietnam will lead to additional contracts or identify any further regulatory measures in either market.
