In 2024, for the second consecutive year, retail volume sales of dairy products and alternatives in Argentina contracted. The complex economic climate negatively impacted dairy demand, with inflation rates reaching triple digits and GDP decreasing. The habit of cooking home-made meals, which was noticeable over the review period, intensified during 2024, helping to mitigate the contraction of sales in essential categories such as butter and spreads, cow’s milk and cream.
