In 2022, US dairy exports hit a record high of $9.5 billion, a 25% increase from the previous year, with cheese shipments seeing a 12% rise. Mexico became the first market to export over 2 billion dairy products, driven by a strengthened peso and increased purchases. Despite some struggles with butter, anhydrous milk fat, and whole milk powder exports in January 2023, there was a notable 16% increase in shipments compared to the same month in the previous year.
