The acting administrator of the USDA Foreign Ag Service says 2020 was the fourth year of increased dairy exports.
“We totaled out at $6.5. billion in 2020, that’s roughly a 10 percent increase over 2019.”
Daniel Whitley tells Brownfield Mexico, Canada, and China led as the top U.S. dairy importers despite COVID slowdowns which highlights the success of trade agreements and progress made on trade barriers.
“There’s still more work to do, they’re not resolved, we’ve got to get some of these additional barriers addressed and open up those markets for the American dairy industry,” he says.
