U.S. dairy exports in September saw a significant increase, with a 17% rise in volume and a 28% increase in value, totaling $655 million. This growth is expected to continue, setting a new record. The surge was led by a 20% increase in cheese sales and a 223% rise in butterfat exports. Nonfat dry milk, dry whey products, and lactose also experienced increases. The U.S. Dairy Export Council acknowledged the benefits of rerouting exports to Mexico by rail to manage port congestion. However, there are concerns about China's dairy demand, as it may not be able to sustain its current buying pace due to large stocks.
