Dairy Industry Supports TPP
The TPP is an historic pact between 12 countries containing features that will help America’s dairy foods companies and dairy farmers in the future. After months of analysis and deliberation, IDFA, the National Milk Producers Federation and the U.S. Dairy Export Council endorsed the pact this spring, saying the agreement presents, on balance, a step forward for U.S. dairy farmers and companies that process and market their milk.
TPP is expected to help level the playing field for U.S. exports and create new opportunities in the highly competitive Asia-Pacific region, as long it’s implemented accurately and all countries agree to honor their commitments.
