US dairy leaders advocate for fair trade in Europe, seeking market access and balanced policies to address a $3B trade deficit with the EU.
The U.S. dairy industry is intensifying efforts to gain greater market access and promote fair trade practices across Europe, driven by a $3 billion trade deficit with the EU. Key leaders from the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) recently conducted a strategic visit to the UK and EU to advocate for U.S. dairy products.
The delegation engaged with policymakers and visited local dairy farms to emphasize the mutual benefits of increased imports of U.S. dairy products. In Brussels, high-level discussions were held with EU officials, stressing the need for EU trade regulations to align with WTO rules to ensure fair competition. U.S. dairy leaders highlight the existing trade imbalance, attributing it to “excessive non-tariff and tariff restrictions,” and call for science-based policies to foster balanced trade growth, providing equitable market opportunities for all dairy producers.
