Argentina is expected to produce 11.72 million tons of milk in 2026, says USDA.

According to the new report from the attaché of United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) In Buenos Aires, Argentina's dairy sector is expected to maintain a recovery trajectory in 2026. The document projects that milk production will reach 11.72 million tons, a 2% increase compared to 2025, supported by favorable weather conditions, good pastures, and greater forage availability. The increased milk supply should boost the production of the main dairy products, with whole milk powder production estimated at 210,000 tons, cheese at 540,000 tons, skimmed milk powder at 50,000 tons, and butter at 37,000 tons. Given the higher production, the USDA expects exports to also grow, led by shipments of whole milk powder, cheese, and skimmed milk powder, with Brazil remaining the main destination for Argentine exports.
