The US Dairy Export Council recently convened, highlighting the growing global demand for dairy products and the potential for US farmers to meet this need due to supply constraints in New Zealand and the European Union. Despite challenges such as supply chain issues, inflation, and protectionist governments, US dairy exports are projected to surpass 2021 levels. The USDEC is working to increase global demand for US cheese and dairy ingredients, with a particular focus on sustainability practices like water and soil conservation, energy efficiency, and reducing carbon footprint. The US is seen as a leader in these areas, providing a competitive advantage in a global market facing economic hurdles including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ongoing pandemic, and monetary policy tightening to combat inflation.
