Food scientist and editor Donna Berry recently presented on the endless possibilities of innovating with dairy ingredients at the 18^th Annual Dairy Ingredients Symposium. 

The U.S. Dairy Export Council launched, in 2015, a new website called ThinkUSAdairy.org intended to facilitate customer access to information and resources about the U.S. dairy industry. We are now excited to announce the launch of our new and improved Supplier Directory!

2015 was a challenging year for both global dairy markets and U.S. dairy exports. Over the medium-term horizon, however, USDEC analysts project that rising global dairy demand will pressure available milk supplies, accelerating export growth momentum for U.S. dairy suppliers through 2020 and beyond.

Food and beverage manufacturers have evolved over time to develop many forms of better-for-you foods that not only keep longer, but are tastier and easier to prepare. However, a new movement also requiring food products to have a “clean label” is giving formulators a new challenge to overcome.

Price volatility has been a reality of the global dairy market, and the bad news is that 2016 will be no exception. The good news however, for buyers who wish to ensure uninterrupted supply of U.S. dairy products, is that risk management tools exist to manage their financial exposure.
