Several dairy organizations joined forces to write a letter encouraging the bill’s passage.
The U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC), the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) said they are urging Congress to quickly ratify the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) with an outreach campaign highlighting the importance of the agreement to the success of U.S. dairy farmers and manufacturers.
In a letter sent to representatives of top-producing dairy states, USDEC, NMPF and IDFA detailed how provisions of USMCA positively impact the U.S. dairy industry. The organizations said the timely resolution of ongoing trade disputes and negotiations is critical to growing the dairy sector’s international market share, as well as maintaining credibility with U.S. trading partners.
