US Milk Surge Signals Mixed Outlook for Global Trade
Milk production in the United States continues to expand, with April 2025 output up 1.5% year-on-year, reaching 19.37 billion pounds. This increase is driven by both higher herd numbers (up 89,000 cows YOY) and improved per-cow yields. Rising production is supporting stronger supply-side dynamics, which have already lifted wholesale prices of cheese, butter, and non-fat…

The bill’s timing was no accident. Canada wants a carve-out from Trump’s tariffs and hopes to…
Dairy UP aims to reduce the water content of cow’s milk
A research project by the Dairy UP team aims to reduce the water content of cow’s milk and increase the concentration of milk solids. If successful, the research could lead to a more environmentally-sustainable product and reduced transport and processing costs. The Dairy UP team is exploring ways to influence lactose production to reduce the…
Synthetic Dairy Could Eliminate Bacterial Contamination Risks
The push toward lab-grown milk—produced through precision fermentation—is gaining momentum as a way to bypass traditional bacterial contamination risks inherent in animal-sourced milk. Both whey and casein proteins are synthesized in controlled bioreactors, then combined with plant-based fats and water. Since the process is sterile, there’s no need for pasteurization, effectively eliminating pathogens like Listeria,…
