Chile: Dairy and Products Annual
The United States has become the main supplier of dairy products to Chile. In January – July 2016 the U.S. exported $32,860,530 of dairy products and has increased its exports in 11.6% in volume over January-July 2015. After cheese, non-fat dry milk (NFDM) is the second main dairy product that the U.S. exports to Chile, valued at $9.7million in January- July 2016. Whole dry milk imports are expected to reach 8,000 MT in MY 2016 to cover local consumption as domestic production decreases. Chilean whole dry milk imports in MY2017 are projected to decrease to 7,000 MT, as local production is expected to recover.
