    FAQ 4: How is the U.S. Dairy Export Council funded?


    The national dairy checkoff funds most of USDEC’s budget through Dairy Management Inc., USDEC’s parent organization.
    Put another way, farmers are our primary funders through the national checkoff.  

    Dropbox1Farmers are the primary funders of USDEC through the dairy checkoff. 


    State and regional checkoff organizations also have stepped up to make additional contributions. This money has helped USDEC forge new global partnerships, hire additional people in key markets and expand our programs to facilitate U.S. export growth.  

    USDEC also is supported by U.S. Department of Agriculture programs for generic overseas marketing and promotional activities designed to build commercial export markets for U.S. agricultural products and commodities.  

    Finally, USDEC relies on membership dues -- not checkoff dollars -- to fund its trade policy advocacy.
