From China to Mexico: U.S. dairy export flies

Avatar photoCLAL TeamPosted on

Between January and April 2017, US dairy products increased their trend-based exports both in volume (+13.5%) and in value (+22.5%).

Main destination countries were Mexico, Central and Latin America, followed by China and Southeast Asia. Asean area had a strong growth.

Overall, total exports in milk equivalent (ME) by region grew by 15.29%, while total imports in milk equivalent were down 7.93%.

The first supply area of dairy products is the European Union, from which the US purchases 400,000 tonnes of milk equivalents.

The most exported products are cheeses, skimmed milk powder (SMP), whey powder, infant-formula milk, lactose for pharmaceutical use, but also milk and cream.

No wall between the United States and Mexico, which remains the first country for market share in cheese and SMP exports.

Warning to American evolutions, in cheese sector in particular. US dairy industry is looking for a strong identity for its production, keeping away from the standardization. The mission is a linked in “terroir” production.
