U.S., Mexican Dairy Leaders Deepen Partnership as USMCA Talks Continue

Dairy leaders from the United States and Mexico concluded the 2026 U.S.-Mexico Binational Dairy Summit recently, reaffirming shared priorities on trade, innovation and the future of dairy farming against the backdrop of negotiations related to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

Held in late July in Querétaro, Mexico, the event brought together dairy leaders from the National Milk Producers Federation, the U.S. Dairy Export Council and leading Mexican dairy organizations.  The organizations adopted a new shared principle recognizing the importance of supporting the next generation of dairy farmers in both countries through the exchange of information and experience while creating new opportunities to collaborate on issues critical to the future of the dairy sector.

"The dairy trade relationship between the United States and Mexico is a true success story as our industries have grown in parallel for over three decades," said NMPF President and CEO Gregg Doud. “Central to that success is an open dialogue. We look forward to continuing work together to address shared challenges and develop our markets together.”

The organizations agreed to expand collaboration in the months ahead. The summit followed the third round of U.S.-Mexico negotiations related to the USMCA.
