Some dairy groups in the US are happy after the US advanced the first USMCA dispute panel on dairy, while others are still pressing for the dispute to be dropped.
Ambassador Katherine Tai said the US has requested and established a dispute settlement panel under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to review measures adopted by the Government of Canada that it said undermine the ability of American dairy exporters to sell a wide range of products to Canadian consumers.
The US is challenging Canada’s allocation of dairy tariff-rate quotas (TRQs), specifically the set-aside of a percentage of each dairy TRQ exclusively for Canadian processors. These measures, according to the US, deny the ability of US dairy farmers, workers, and exporters to utilize the TRQs and realize the full benefit of the USMCA.

Ambassador Katherine Tai announced this week that the United States has requested and established a dispute settlement panel under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to review measures adopted by the Government of Canada that undermine the ability of American dairy exporters to sell a wide range of products to Canadian consumers.
According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), the U.S. is challenging Canada’s allocation of dairy tariff-rate quotas (TRQs), specifically the set-aside of a percentage of each dairy TRQ exclusively for Canadian processors. These measures deny the ability of U.S. dairy farmers, workers, and exporters to utilize the TRQs and realize the full benefit of the USMCA.

The proposal from the Dairy Business Association (DBA), Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, Minnesota Milk, and Nebraska State Dairy Association comes after they took a look at options early this year. They said the proposal, which is deemed âClass III Plus,â aims to build off of the pricing system currently in place, proposals by dairy cooperatives, and dairy farmer petitions to figure out a better Class I pricing system. âOur proposal looks to the future. It would make lasting changes to the milk pricing system that will limit negative PPDs (Producer Price Differential) in the future and the possible negative effects from future crises,â DBA President Amy Penterman said.
