30 Jul 2018 --- The US dairy industry is struggling under the weight of tariff measures in Mexico and China, with the full industry implications only just starting to come to light. Since the end of May 2018, tariff measures of 20 to 25 percent have been imposed on US cheeses going to Mexico, while tariffs of 25 percent have been put in place on US dairy products going to China, in addition to the 8-12 percent tariffs that China already imposed on dairy products from most suppliers around the world.
