On October 4, Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries announced that it would decrease planned imports of non-fat dry milk (NFDM) by 6,000 metric tons (MT) in Japanese fiscal year 2019. Planned imports are now set at 14,000 MT, compared to the 20,000 MT originally announced in May.
