Dairy Industry Sends Call for Help to D.C.

The U.S. dairy sector last week sent a new industry-funded study to President Donald Trump and members of Congress to stress the need for expanding market access overseas. The report notes that every major dairy-exporting country except the U.S. is included in one of two new trade agreements with Japan.

The report, which was commissioned by the U.S. Dairy Export Council, projects that the American dairy sector would likely lose $1.3 billion worth of exports to Japan within 10 years because countries like Australia, New Zealand and Germany have better terms under both the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Japan’s new economic partnership with the European Union.
