Panamá tiene un déficit estructural de leche. La demanda nacional (sumando leche fluida y derivados en equivalente líquido) se calcula en torno a 480 millones de litros anuales, mientras la producción nacional apenas cubre los 180 millones. Esto implica que alrededor del 62% del consumo es abastecido por importaciones. (ES)
Según la ANAGAN, se estimaba alrededor de 1,200 productores dedicados a leche en 2019, pero en 2022-2023 quedaban apenas unos 700 activos. Es decir, más de 400 pequeños ganaderos (sobre todo de leche grado C) han abandonado la actividad en muy pocos años.
