U.S. dairy exports hit a record high in November 2022, with a 23% increase in sales compared to the same month the previous year, reaching just under $800 million. This growth is expected to continue into 2023, with the total value of January-November 2022 exports reaching nearly $8.9 billion, a 25% increase from the previous year. The export of dairy heifers, however, remains challenging due to supply issues both in the U.S. and globally. Despite this, exports of dairy embryos saw a significant increase in November. The U.S. trade balance for agriculture was positive for the second consecutive month in November 2022, with a trade balance of over $1.4 billion for the month, the highest since December 2021.
