Formula companies are heavily subsidized by voucher programs and large companies dominate the market. Because baby formula is highly regulated and the market operates to serve big corporate producers under protectionist policies, the US will not import the formula, despite the need.
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson have all invested in a company, BIOMILQ, hoping to soon sell lab-grown human breast milk to 'prevent climate change due to gases created in formula manufacturing.'  BIOMILQ may be available in three years. The company is working to create "human milk" in a lab using cells taken from human breast tissue.

Candace Owens tweeted, "Doesn't Bill Gates just have the best luck? Just like with the COVID vaccine— he makes an investment, and then suddenly there is a pandemic or shortage and everyone must line up for his product. Of course he's invested in lab produced breast milk!"

An article published by Daily Mail on June 19, 2020, revealed that Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and other billionaires invested in a new startup company to produce artificial breast milk from cultured human mammary epithelial.

According to the article, U.S. firm BIOMILQ has received $3.5 million from an investment fund that is co-founded by Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and Mark Zuckerberg to 'prevent climate change due to gases created in formula manufacturing.'
