 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
Dairy Industry Aims to Milk the Net
Jul 26 2000 11:56 AM PDT

 PROFILE
Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) are partners in cream and ready to curdle their competitors. Formed by the merger of four separate dairy cooperatives, DFA is now the largest US dairy cooperative, with 24,000 members in 45 states. The co-op produces more than a quarter of the US milk supply. It also produces cheese, butter, and other products for wholesale and retail customers worldwide. To better compete with larger food manufacturers, DFA is seeking strength in value-added products and joint ventures to distribute its milk and milk-based food ingredients to wider regions. It supplies milk for Suiza Dairy Group, a 34%-owned joint venture it has with dairy firm Suiza Foods.
