US Investigating Competitiveness of Nonfat Milk Solids Exports

The International Trade Commission is investigating the state of the nonfat milk solids exporting industry in the U.S. and other major supplier nations, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and certain EU member states, the commission said last week. The ITC said it will analyze the “export competitiveness” of those industries and prepare a public report on export trends, a comparison of the “competitive strengths and weaknesses” of producers and exporters in those countries, and more. The investigation, requested by the U.S. trade representative, will focus on the 2020-2024 period. The ITC will hold a public hearing on the investigation on July 28 and is accepting written comments by Oct. 14. It expects to submit its report to USTR by March 23, 2026.
