According to the consultancy, wholesale prices of the main dairy products consumed in Brazil maintained an upward trajectory at the beginning of April, especially UHT milk and mozzarella cheese. This movement indicates the first signs of the off-season, marked by reduced supply and strengthened negotiations, reflected in the more accelerated rise in prices in the spot market for milk destined for processing. "In this scenario, the lower availability of raw materials contributes to sustaining the prices paid to producers and, given external uncertainties, the indirect effects on energy, freight, and operational costs tend to intensify the upward trend, accelerating the seasonal process along with solid demand pressure," the consultancy added.
