Global Dairy Markets to Take Center Stage at Dairy Forum
Learn what's driving global markets for dairy products and what it means for your company.

U.S. dairy exports reached a record high of $1.87 billion in 2006, jumping 12% from the previous year, and that's just the tip of a burgeoning global dairy market, according to international executives and industry specialists. What's driving the explosive growth? What opportunities and challenges does that present for your company? And how can the U.S. industry turn this into a long-term "win" instead of just long-term higher ingredient costs? You'll learn these answers and more when you attend IDFA's Dairy Forum, January 20-23, in La Quinta, Calif.

On Monday, January 21, global dairy markets will take center stage as Mark Voorbergen, global dairy industry specialist for Rabobank International, explains the economic forces affecting dairy products and how they are influencing domestic as well as global business practices.

On the same day, you'll hear how the leaders of three thriving international dairy companies - Peder Tuborgh, CEO of Arla, Denmark; Justinus Sanders, chairman of Campina, Holland; and Andrew Ferrier, CEO of Fonterra, New Zealand - are creating partnerships, pursuing product innovations and discovering new opportunities in both the production and processing side of the industry. Covering topics as diverse as international marketing campaigns to planning for the future of milk production, these executives will give their views on the future of dairy and the impact that the growing global market will have on U.S. companies.
