U.S. dairy exports posted their strongest month of growth in a year and a half in July, climbing 9.6 percent year-over-year in milk-solids-equivalent terms. In contrast to prior months, where cheese and high-protein-whey products were the only products posting significant growth, gains were made across multiple categories in July. In particular, reduced-protein whey has become the star of the show after lagging throughout 2023, gaining 27 percent in July and marking the fourth-consecutive month of growth. Not to be outdone, despite declines in production, nonfat-dry-milk and skim-milk products surprise by increasing 11 percent for the month. Cheese and high-protein whey also maintained momentum, growing 10 percent and 23 percent, respectively.
