USDA Dairy Gets Greater Access to Costa Rica

America’s dairy farmers will have greater market access to Costa Rica, which approved the first U.S. dairy facility to be registered under their new streamlined approval process. “Securing greater market access for American dairy farmers is a much-needed win for the U.S. dairy industry and will give U.S. producers better-increased access to the $130 million market in Costa Rica,” said Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins. “I look forward to breaking down trade barriers and opening new markets for our farmers and ranchers around the globe.” On May 22, Costa Rica’s National Animal Health Service officially approved the first American dairy cooperative to export to Costa Rica, making it the first U.S. dairy facility to be registered under the new streamlined process that eases market access for U.S. dairy exports to Costa Rica. It’s a $60 million market that could have been lost if the U.S. administration was unable to navigate the new approval process.
