IDFA, Port of Los Angeles, CMA CGM form joint initiative to advance U.S. dairy exports
The Dairy Exports Working Group aims to identify and address supply chain issues hampering U.S. dairy product exports.
The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), the Port of Los Angeles and CMA CGM — a leader in shipping and logistics — formed the Dairy Exports Working Group aimed at identifying and addressing supply chain issues hampering U.S. dairy product exports. The group will focus on seaports on the West Coast of the United States, where a majority of dairy products begin their export journey, as well as on opportunities to streamline the movement of products from the interior of the United States to the West Coast, Washington, D.C.-based IDFA said.
Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, and Michael Dykes, D.V.M., president and CEO of IDFA, first made the announcement at Dairy Forum 2022 in Palm Desert, Calif., on Jan. 24.
