> The Dairy Management Inc. monthly report said U.S. dairy exports hit a record 17.8% of milk solids production in 2022. Domestic consumption was sluggish, though American-type cheese use grew in late 2022. The DMC margin fell to $9.76/cwt in December, and margins are expected to be lower in 2023.

## Why it matters

Strong export demand supports dairy prices, but weaker domestic use and falling margins point to a softer 2023 milk price. Lower margins can also reduce producers' appetite for feed purchases.
