The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) shared a comprehensive set of federal policy priorities with President-Elect Trump’s transition team.

IDFA President and CEO Michael Dykes, D.V.M., said IDFA and its more than 300 members are looking to the new administration to help U.S. dairy drive innovation, reduce barriers to business efficiency, and open new market access for healthy, nutritious U.S. dairy products around the world. 

“IDFA is pleased to share the priorities of the dairy industry with President-Elect Trump’s transition team leaders to build new momentum and drive greater prosperity across the U.S. dairy supply chain,” said Dykes. “We look forward to a productive working relationship with President-Elect Trump and his team.” 

Dykes continued: “U.S. dairy is the most productive in the world, but workforce challenges, dwindling export market opportunities, and burdensome regulations are creating uncertainty for our industry. By presenting these policy priorities, we are looking for areas of collaboration with the Trump administration so U.S. dairy farmers and processors can usher in a new golden age in healthy, high-quality, U.S. dairy nutrition.”
