Dairy Data
This Dairy Data page includes data files covering domestic supply, demand, and international trade of various dairy products. Data on the U.S. dairy situation and supply and utilization are updated monthly, whereas the U.S. milk production and related data are updated quarterly. All other dairy data files are updated annually. These files include data on supply and allocation of milk fat and skim solids; dairy per capita consumption; fluid milk sales; milk supply by State and region; milk production and factors affecting supply and utilization of milk in all dairy products; and numbers and size of milk bottling plants.
See the Documentation page for information on how the data were assembled, sources, and recent and upcoming changes to the data.
Other data of interest for the dairy industry include Milk Cost of Production Estimates and Price Spreads from Farm to Consumer. Older archived dairy data, preceding the data files below, are available in the Dairy Yearbook (last updated in September 2005).
Note: on May 16, 2024, the Annual milk production and factors affecting supply (annual) .xlsx file was re-published to reflect updates to USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service’s Milk Production, Disposition, and Income Annual Summary and Quick Stats.
