U.S.-Taiwan Dairy Partnership Advances Shared Growth

The U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC), National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the Dairy Association of Taiwan (DAT) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) today in a milestone step to strengthen the relationship between the U.S. and Taiwanese dairy sectors.

The MOU underscores the importance of facilitating trade, defending the image of dairy, supporting dairy farming, and deepening cooperation between the U.S. and Taiwan on dairy benefits and trade.

Together, the organizations will explore opportunities to strengthen commercial ties, encourage dialogue between both dairy sectors, including producers, industry leaders and policymakers, and promote the role of dairy in supporting healthy diets.

“This agreement is a significant step toward expanding the presence of U.S. dairy in Taiwan, one of the most dynamic markets in Asia,” said Krysta Harden, president and CEO of USDEC. “By strengthening ties between our dairy sectors, we are creating new avenues for growth and innovation. Together, we will highlight the strengths of dairy while building long-term opportunities that benefit both Taiwanese and American consumers and producers.”
