MD_DA137 Whole Milk Powder - South America Report 23 - Released on June 04, 2020 In the South American Southern Cone region, free on board export prices for whole milk powder (WMP) are slightly down. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, Brazil's WMP requests have decreased significantly in recent weeks. Consequently, the two main regional WMP exporting countries, Argentina and Uruguay, are selling a good part of WMP supplies outside the Mercosur bloc to compensate for the decrease in sales to Brazil. Generally, regional drying schedules for condensed whole milk are more active compared to a month ago as farm milk intakes are steadily improving. WMP inventories are becoming more accessible across the region. Prices for: South America, All First Sales, Free on Board - Port, Conventional, and Edible Whole Milk Powder Price Range - 26% Butterfat; $/MT: 2,700 - 3,050 Information for the period May 25 - June 5, 2020, issued biweekly Secondary Sourced Information: At the GDT Event 261 on June 2, whole milk powder (WMP) prices across all contract periods averaged $2,761 per metric ton, up 2.1 percent from the last event.
