The US National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and US Dairy Export Council (USDEC) have called on President Obama to hold Canada accountable for “persistent undermining of US dairy export access.”
A trade deal involving US dairy exports is facing problems.

The two US dairy groups are saying “America’s dairy farmers rely on exports to provide a home for the equivalent of one day’s milk production a week.”
This pattern has cost US dairy farmers and processors hundreds of millions of dollars and hurting the US-Canada trading relationship.
Negative impact on the farm

Jim Mulhern, president and CEO of NMPF said “when other countries disingenuously use policies and regulations to block those sales, especially in the light of previously negotiated free trade agreements, the negative impact is felt on the farm. This is particularly damaging in tough years like this when supplies exceeds demand,”
NMPF and USDEC both support the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership), but stress the importance of Canada’s compliance with existing obligations to achieve its full implementation.
