ESPINOZA-ARELLANO, José de J.; FABELA-HERNANDEZ, Adriana M.; LOPEZ-CHAVARRIA, Sandra y MARTINEZ-GOMEZ, Francisco. Impact of imports of powdered milk and dairy byproducts on the producer price of cow milk in Mexico. agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.1, pp.123-139. ISSN 1870-5472.
In Mexico, dairy activity represents the second most important within the livestock production sub-sector, with 22.8 % of the value of production. In recent years the country has resorted to imports of powdered milk and dairy byproducts which, according to dairy producers, have caused a decrease in the national price of fluid milk produced in Mexico, in turn provoking the bankruptcy and closing of many production units. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of imports of powdered milk and dairy byproducts on the real producer price of fluid cow milk in Mexico. The methodology used was Multiple Linear Regression. The results confirm the statements by dairy livestock producers and indicate that the imports of powdered milk, yogurt, condensed milk, and “other” cheeses impacted significantly and inversely the real price of fluid milk in Mexico. Based on this, it is recommended to implement measures to reduce the imports of powdered milk and dairy byproducts or, in this case, implement public policy measures that support national producers.
