There’s been a lot of focus this week by the U.S. dairy industry on the USMCA trade agreement and talks between the three countries to make sure that deal is being properly implemented. While that’s been a concern, the National Milk Producers Federation has also been working with the USTR on developing other export markets. Federation’s Senior Vice President of Trade Policy Shawna Morris says while there’s a lot to work through, they’d like to see a deal with the United Kingdom.
She says there are also potential markets for U.S. dairy in the Far East especially with Japan.
Morris says another Asian country where there’s many competitors vying for that market is in Vietnam.
Morris is hopeful they’ll be able to build on U.S. dairy export success that was reached in March when a record amount of over 215,000 metric tons of dairy products were exported.
