Tridge summary

In May, U.S. dairy exports nearly reached record levels, driven by high volumes of dairy ingredients, especially nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder to Mexico and the Middle East/North Africa, and whey to China. Despite this, cheese exports experienced a 13% drop, with the Asia-Pacific market withdrawing the most.
