    Cheese remains one of the best performers, with volume up 46 percent this January compared to January 2013.

    U.S. dairy exports got off to a solid start in January, as value reached $583.7 million, a gain of 35 percent from the previous year, according to USDA data released late last week. Aggregate volume of the major export categories (milk powder, cheese, whey, butterfat and lactose) totaled 162,999 tons, on par with each of the last four months of 2013.
