Dairy Exporter of the Year for 2022

1. Dairy Exporter of the Year for 2022 Nature’s SunGrown Foods, Inc.

2. Maintaining dairy export markets is vital to achieving the full potential of domestic milk supply. You must read and comply with the Overseas Market Access Requirements (OMAR) for your destination markets. • American dairy companies and cooperatives are well-positioned to meet the world’s growing demand for dairy products. They have made logistical pivots to continue serving their global customers during the COVID-19 crisis.

3. Dairy Foods Exporter • Dairy And Organic Food Exporter, the industry turned out a record percentage of the milk it produced into dairy products and ingredients exported overseas. The growth in exports came despite challenges in global supply chains and a lack of new trade agreements to establish more level playing fields abroad with our major trading competitors. • The top markets for dairy exports were Mexico, Canada and China. Sales in each of these countries have been rising steadily for several years. • If you manufacture, store or transport dairy products destined for export to countries other than Australia you need to operate under a verified risk management programme (RMP). RMPs must be registered and regularly verified by an MPI-recognised verifier. You also need to use operator seals on your containers that meet the requirements for the specific market you are targeting. You can check the requirements for each market in E-cert. This includes whether you need to raise a backing certificate, EHC 0001, in E-cert for each shipment.

4. Dairy Foods Supplier • A dairy food supplier is a company that sells products such as cheese, milk, butter and yogurt to distributors. These wholesalers serve many types of businesses, from grocery stores to restaurants. They also provide a variety of other services, from routing and scheduling software to customer relationship management. • Dairy foods are derived from the flesh of animals such as cows, water buffaloes, nanny goats and sheep. They are consumed in varying amounts worldwide and are an important source of protein, fats, minerals and vitamins. They are also used in the manufacture of other foods and beverages. • To export dairy products, they must be manufactured, stored and transported under a risk management programme (RMP). Other suppliers in the supply chain, such as storage facilities, must also operate under an RMP. If you’re interested in importing dairy products into Australia, check the eligibility requirements for your product on E-cert. You may also need to obtain import permits or approvals from the importing authority.

5. Dairy Foods Manufacturer • Milk and dairy products are a vital part of many people’s diets, both as an ingredient and as a beverage. Dairy processing companies transform dairy farmers’ milk into quality, safe, desirable and convenient consumer products and/or ingredients. These include dairy farmer cooperatives, publicly traded domestic and international corporations and supermarket chains. • The ten biggest dairy food manufacturers in the United States in 2020 had combined sales of $124 billion. The largest company, Dairy Farmers of America, owns a number of recognizable brands such as Borden cheese and Breakstone’s butter. Other top companies include GroupeLactalis (France), which owns a number of different brands including Activia and Danimals yogurts. • These companies use advanced technology to separate the desired percentage of fat from raw milk. The fat is either sold for cattle feed or used to make ice cream, powdered milk, and other products. The rest of the milk is processed and sold as liquid skim milk or other products.

6. Dairy Foods Importer • Dairy And Organic Food trade is currently a bit shaky, Fresno-based DairyAmerica remains bullish about long-range prospects. That's largely because it has become a forward-looking problem solver for its own dairy members as well as the U.S. dairy industry, earning the 2022 Tom Camerlo U.S. Dairy Exporter of the Year award at USDEC's Fall membership meeting. • In a year of supply chain disruptions, DairyAmerica has continued to grow its export markets for cheese and dairy ingredients. The company has earned a reputation for making trade opportunities its focus, and it is now one of the world's top suppliers of SMP, WMP and butter. • For many dairy products, including milk and cream, ice cream, butter and cheese, imports are subject to quota restrictions. In addition to meeting general import requirements, such as preparing a preventive control plan, you may need to apply for a permit through the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). Imports of certain dairy products are allowed at a lower tariff rate when accompanied by a license issued by FAS.
