U.S. dairy exports make big inroads into Canada

Apr 01, 2025

Trade data shows that the United States is selling more dairy products to Canada.

In the last few years, American exports of cheese, butter, whey and other dairy products to Canada have climbed by 67 percent — going from C$525 million in 2021 to $877 million in 2024, using data from Agriculture Canada.

It’s a big win for U.S. dairy farmers, but that’s not the story being told by president Donald Trump.

“Canada must immediately drop their Anti-American Farmer Tariff of 250 per cent to 390 per cent on various U.S. dairy products, which has long been considered outrageous,” he said on Truth Social in early March.

Trump is exploiting only part of the story on dairy trade between the U.S. and Canada because he’s ignoring the export data.

Unfortunately, the tariffs are very large and are something that is easily distorted, says an agricultural economist from Cornell University.

Video: Turning Data into Better Decisions: BioCV's Intelligent Monitoring System for Modern Pork Producers

In this exclusive interview, Jens Kjaer, CEO of BioCV Inc., discusses the North American launch of the BioCV Intelligent Sow Monitoring System and how advanced sensor technology and machine learning are changing the way producers manage sow herds. Using smart ear tags that continuously monitor temperature, behavior, and movement, the system provides real-time alerts for heat detection, farrowing, fever, lameness, and other critical health events—often before they become visible to barn staff.

Kjaer explains how the technology helps producers improve breeding efficiency, reduce non-productive days, identify health challenges earlier, and better support sows during farrowing. He also shares how BioCV's predictive analytics can help operations optimize labor, improve piglet survival, reduce sow losses, and enhance overall productivity in today's increasingly data-driven swine industry.

Learn how this innovative technology is giving producers actionable insights on every sow, every day, helping teams move from reactive management to proactive decision-making while improving both animal welfare and profitability. www.biocv.info/lisa-sow
