Eliminating non-tariff barriers to U.S. dairy exports and expanding market access for U.S. dairy products are among the issues that U.S. dairy producer representatives raised in a Monday meeting with U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai.
Representatives of the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), led by its President and CEO Jim Mulhern, emphasized to Tai a need for enforcement of existing trade agreements such as ensuring Canada meets its trade obligations; countering European Union attempts to misuse common food names through inappropriate geographical indication rules; engaging with Mexico to ensure a normal flow of trade; and concluding new market expanding trade agreements.
