Argentine Dairy Market – Second Half of August 2025
In the second half of August, Argentina’s dairy exports showed a more dynamic performance in both volume and value, consolidating a recovery trend that had been emerging since mid-month.
During the period from August 16 to 31, exports totaled 19,661 tons, representing an increase of 15.4% compared to the first half of the month (17,039.55 tons). In addition, the average FOB price rose by 2%, reaching U$S 4,036 per ton, up from U$S 3,959 in the previous half-month. This rise in prices reflects an improvement in the composition of the export mix, with a higher share of higher value-added products or shipments to destinations with better pricing.

Monthly Analysis:
Throughout August 2025, Argentina exported a total of 36,700 tons, with an average price close to U$S 4,000 per ton, marking a month of strong export activity and a gradual price recovery compared to July. The combination of higher volumes and a slight rebound in international prices points to a more balanced quarter-end for the sector, although challenges related to domestic costs and currency competitiveness remain.
