Center Hosts January 2021 Quarterly Dairy Industry Legal Update on Exports and Trade Agreements

On January 26, 2021, Brook Duer presented the second Quarterly Dairy Legal Update, Dairy Exports and Trade Agreements: What’s Up with Canada, Mexico, China and the EU?

Each webinar in our Quarterly Dairy Legal Update provides a 30-minute round-up of the past quarter’s legal and regulatory developments impacting the dairy industry and a 30-minute focused topic of interest to dairy producers and professionals.  The round-up examines recent developments in pricing and income support programs, dairy risk management, legislative and regulatory reform, new legislation, workforce legal issues, international trade disputes, animal health and welfare regulation, and litigation in state and federal courts which impact the dairy sector.

The focused topic for the January 26th webinar was a discussion of international trade agreement terms and on-going trade disputes impacting the dairy industry in the United States with Becky Rasdall, Vice-President of Trade Policy and International Affairs, International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA).  In December, the United States Trade Representative initiated the first enforcement action under the USMCA with Canada and we will lay out the legal issues involved, as well as discuss international trade agreement dairy terms applicable to Mexico, China, the UK and the EU.
