nwiadairyoutlook

U.S. Dairy Export council reports year-over-year (YOY) U.S. dairy exports slipped 0.4% in milk solids equivalent (MSE) terms in March (-910 MT), marking the first MSE decline in exactly a year. (March 2022 U.S. MSE exports fell 0.5% before going on an 11-month streak of YOY gains.)

Because of the strong U.S. performance in January, year-to-date value and volume still grew for the first quarter (1Q). U.S. dairy export volume rose 5% (+25,398 MT MSE) and value increased 3% (+$65 million). And on the volume side, most key product categories held their own for the quarter: NFDM/SMP (+3%), cheese (+4%), MPC (+13%), WPC80+ (+18%) and lactose (+26%).

U.S. dairy exports set a new record high in March on a total volume basis surpassing the previous record high set in March 2014. Exports of whey protein concentrate and lactose each hit all- time highs. On a total milk solids basis, exports were equivalent to 17.3 percent of U.S. milk production.

Suppliers shipped 204,453 tons of milk powder, cheese, butterfat, whey and lactose during the month, up 26 percent from March 2017. U.S. exports were valued at $510 million, 8 percent greater than in March 2017 and the highest total value since April 2015.

Ingredient sales drove much of the gains. Shipments of nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder (NDM/SMP) to Southeast Asia were nearly double the prior-year level and sales to Mexico were the second-most ever. Shipments of lactose to China increased by 57 percent during the month and were at a record high.

Overall NDM/SMP exports were 67,154 tons, up 38 percent from last year. Sales to Mexico increased 43 percent from the previous year.  Continue reading “US Dairy Exports Equal 17.3 Percent of US Production” →

nwiadairyoutlook

An All-Iowa Trade Mission to China, led by Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds recently returned with optimism about the impact of the trip. They discussed trade potential as well as issues for U.S. beef, poultry, soybeans, corn, dairy, and other exports.

Larry Shover, president of the board for the Iowa State Dairy Association championed the dairy interests for the trade mission. He noted that the growing middle class plus an increase in per capita consumption of dairy will increase China’s demand. “The officials did express interest, especially for higher value dairy products like cheese, whey isolates, mozzarella, and snack items,” said Shover.
