US Dairy Cheers New Trade Deal with EU

The EDGE Dairy Farmer Cooperative, one of the largest dairy farmer organizations in the U.S., is praising a new trade framework agreement with the European Union. This deal addresses significant dairy industry issues such as geographic indications (GIs) and geopolitical matters. While not fully resolving the use of names like “parmesan” or “feta,” the agreement sets a platform for future negotiations. The framework also focuses on geopolitical cooperation to avoid protectionism amid global instability. For the international dairy community, this agreement represents a move towards normalizing relations and resolving trade disputes through collaboration, rather than conflict. The agreement is a win for American dairy farmers, ensuring a strong voice in future trade discussions with Europe.
