U.S. Dairy on the World Stage: Growing Markets and Opportunity

The National Young Cooperators Program teamed up with the Dairy Girl Network for a panel discussion at World Dairy Expo, where industry leaders examined how growing international demand is shaping U.S. dairy. Moderated by Laura Daniels of the Dairy Girl Network, the discussion featured Allison Thomas of the U.S. Dairy Export Council, Becky Nyman of Nyman Dairy Farm, Sara Dorland of Ceres Dairy Risk Management and Tana Dennis of Actus Nutrition, who explored strategies for expanding global markets, developing products that meet the needs of international consumers and navigating the opportunities and challenges of competing on a global stage. The panelists also shared their perspectives on how export growth influences domestic milk prices and supports the long-term profitability of U.S. dairy farms.
