Official wholesale price (MAGA)

MAGA’s wholesale basket for La Terminal and CENMA does not cover this product, so there is no official figure on this page to check the estimate above against.

Fresh milk in Guatemala comes primarily from domestic dairy farms concentrated in the highlands (Chimaltenango, Quetzaltenango) and the Pacific coast. Most supermarkets carry pasteurized and UHT milk from brands like Foremost, Parma, and La Pradera. In rural areas, raw milk from local farms is still commonly sold. Prices are higher than in the US relative to incomes.
