The Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association is coordinating a workshop next month to show participants how to set up and sustain a robust dairy export program. The Dairy Export Workshop is scheduled for November 3 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The course is being offered in-person in Sun Prairie or online in a virtual format.
The program kicks off with a high-level overview of emerging markets and international consumers' product preferences, offered by Megan Sheets, U.S. Dairy Export Council's Senior Director of Strategic Development. Presenters from Food Export Midwest, the Wisconsin International Agribusiness Center, dairy exporter MCT Dairies, and supply chain logistics provider Hancock International follow, sharing guidance on how to navigate the challenges of exporting.
The workshop also features speakers from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin, and the Center for Dairy Research, detailing export resources available to Wisconsin dairy processors, including grant opportunities, marketing assistance, research & development support, and consulting services.
