In February, US dairy exports experienced a 23% increase in value, reaching a record $696.8 million, despite a 1% drop in export volume. This growth was primarily driven by high international commodity prices and strong sales of higher-value products such as cheese, butter, and lactose. However, exports of milk powder and whey saw declines. The US saw record shipments of butterfat and lactose, while cheese exports to several major markets saw significant growth. Despite challenges, global demand for cheese remains strong, and US suppliers are benefiting from favorable prices and competitive pricing strategies. However, the recovery of US dairy exports to Mexico, a key market, has stalled, with overall export volume to Mexico falling by 10% while value increased by 28%. The article also discusses the potential impact of domestic milk production issues in Mexico on US dairy imports.

Declines in the two main U.S. milk powder markets – Mexico (-5%, -1,296 tonnes swt) and Southeast Asia (-12%, -3,528 tonnes swt) – led the decline, but shipments declined for most ...
