That does not necessarily have to do with the climate, more because of the dollar and the competition in the Brazilian market,” explained Urrea, who Asia Mobile Number List added that the strength of the peso has discouraged the export of live cattle and, in addition, “the specific characteristics of Brazilian cattle make the international market prefer to buy there rather than here.” He adds that this has led to prices correcting in recent months, and that “the expectation is that they will continue to decline in the coming months.” Dairy cows in corraldfd Live cattle prices are falling due to the strengthening of the Colombian peso against the dollar and the preference of international buyers for the Brazilian market over the Colombian one. (Bloomberg/Dane Rhys) Although in the stage of slaughter and marketing of livestock, prices have been falling, the Colombian Livestock Federation (Fedegán) does report a strong impact on producers during the hot season.
José Félix Lafaurie, president of Fedegán, maintains that the country's ranchers have lost about 122.4 billion dollars, about 30.6 million dollars, due to the hostile climate. The negative effect occurs mainly in the Andean, Caribbean and Eastern Llanos regions. “According to statistics, the greatest impact is seen in the losses of 105,795 million dollars recorded in specialized dairy farms,” said Lafaurie. Milk production, according to the president of Fedegán, has been reduced by 1,858,827 liters per day from December 1 until the middle of this month. Livestock raised for meat marketing have also been affected.
