Conaprole lowered the price per liter of milk sent by 22% in August
The directory of Conaprole officially communicated a 22% drop in the price per liter of milk for remission at the plant during the month of August, and did not rule out that there will be new reductions throughout the year.
Last week, the company had announced that it was projecting a reduction of up to 21% for the price per liter of milk, however, this was even higher. From the dairy cooperative they argued that the decision was based on the complexity of the situation in foreign markets.
The president of the cooperative Gabriel Fernandezdeclared last Tuesday to Radio Oriental that nobody could “anticipate” the sharp reduction in prices made by the New Zealand company Fonterrathe world’s largest dairy exporter, for the 2023/2024 financial year.
In turn, the mobilizations carried out by Brazilian producers to curb dairy imports generated several delays in Conaprole shipments to this South American country.
