The U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) is a non-profit, independent membership organization representing the global trade interests of U.S. dairy producers, proprietary processors and cooperatives, ingredient suppliers and export traders. USDEC, together with its network of representatives around the world, works with global buyers and end-users to accelerate customer purchasing and innovation success with quality U.S. dairy products and ingredients.

As the U.S. dairy export accelerator, USDEC’s mission is to expand commercial opportunities and competitive access to global markets to support a thriving U.S. dairy sector. USDEC accomplishes these goals through programs that seek to build overseas demand for U.S. dairy products, resolve market access barriers, and advance the industry's trade policy goals. USDEC activities are supported by staff across the United States and in Mexico, South America, Asia and the Middle East.
