The National Milk Producers Federation and the U.S. Dairy Export Council are applauding House passage of the Combatting Organized Retail Crime Act, saying the measure would help address cargo theft and protect agricultural supply chains. NMPF President and CEO Gregg Doud said the legislation would help dairy producers ensure products reach customers safely and on time. He thanked the House for advancing the bipartisan bill and said the organization looks forward to working toward Senate approval. USDEC President and CEO Krysta Harden said organized retail crime has increasingly affected dairy exporters as criminals break into shipping containers searching for high-value goods. She noted dairy exports have become collateral damage in many of those thefts, disrupting shipments and creating additional costs for exporters. Industry leaders said the legislation would provide dairy shippers and law enforcement with additional tools and resources to combat organized cargo theft and strengthen the reliability of U.S. food and agricultural transportation networks.
