Milk production peaked at 26.4 billion gallons (99.93 billion liters) in 2023. The milk produced is exported and is also used to make various products, from pasta mixes to prepared candies and desserts. .
American dairy producers are trying to popularize dairy products, as well as non-food products made from milk.

CDR received a grant from the US Department of Agriculture, which “It will support inventors, entrepreneurs and companies developing methods to use dairy by-products, such as whey, in valuable products.”. In addition, the company will develop new food ingredients, as well as bioplastics, organic acids and much more.
