Buenos Aires, Argentina – In a powerful testament to the nation’s economic recovery, Argentina has emerged as the global leader in dairy production growth, a major achievement in the first half of 2025. According to a report from the Argentine Dairy Chain Observatory (OCLA), the country’s milking volume soared by an impressive 11.7%, placing it ahead of major producers like Chile, Brazil, and Uruguay and solidifying South America as the most dynamic region for the dairy industry.

This remarkable recovery, achieved under the decisive economic policies of the Javier Milei government, comes after a significant contraction in early 2024. The article notes that Argentina’s increased production of an additional 500 million liters is a figure comparable to the United States. This strong performance stands out, especially since the overall production of major international suppliers only saw a modest 0.6% increase, a trend that has kept dairy commodity prices at very favorable levels.

The OCLA’s report also highlights a recovering global demand, particularly from key markets like China and Southeast Asia, which further benefits Argentina’s producers. This success not only showcases the effectiveness of the government’s pro-market reforms but also solidifies Argentina’s central and growing role in the international market, with a projected year-end production increase close to 6%.
