Argentina's Jan-Sep powdered milk exports to Brazil reach 29,000 tonnes

During January-September, Argentina has exported 29,000 tonnes of powdered milk to Brazil, with Uruguay exporting to this very market 35,000 tonnes while having a production six times lower.

In 2009 Argentina exported 44,000 tonnes of Brazil and Uruguay half of that volume. Apparently there was an agreement for limiting exports since 2009, with a quota of 3,600 tonnes per month, expired last October. There are no restrictions for exports from Uruguay that is selling some 6,000 tonnes per month in 2012.
