The leaders of two dairy organizations were glad to see President Biden sign the Ocean Shipping Act into law Thursday.
Krista Harden is the CEO of the U.S. Dairy Export Council, and she tells Brownfield the practice of returning empty shipping containers to Asia harmed American dairy producers and processors. “We estimate we lost about 1.5 billion dollars last year in export costs and lost opportunities, so this really has made an impact on the dairy industry and we’re glad that we have legislation that is going to make a difference.”
Jim Mulhern is the President and CEO of the National Milk Producers Federation, and he tells Brownfield the new law giving the Federal Maritime Commission more authority will make a difference for U.S.
