Wisconsin dairy products are known worldwide, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still opportunities to spread the word a little further. University of Wisconsin-River Falls faculty and staff, along with a recent UWRF graduate traveled to Thailand as part of a larger group this summer learn about the country’s growing dairy industry and explore opportunities to collaborate.

The trip was funded by a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP).

"The idea behind the grant was to promote collaboration and networking between the dairy industries in Wisconsin and Thailand,” said Grace Lewis, a UWRF assistant professor of food science and principal investigator for the grant. “Part of the project was trying to design a dairy product suitable for export from Wisconsin to Thailand.”
