Cheese manufacturing across the United States showed strong growth in recent months, according to new federal agriculture data released this week.
Production figures reveal that cheese makers produced 1.26 billion pounds of cheese products during the reporting period, not including cottage cheese varieties. This represents a 1.2 percent increase compared to March 2025 figures and a substantial 8.1 percent jump from February 2026 levels.
The statistics come from the National Agricultural Statistics Service, which tracks dairy production trends nationwide as part of its regular industry monitoring efforts.
The production increases suggest continued strength in America’s dairy sector, with cheese manufacturing showing particular resilience and growth during the measured timeframe.
