Cooperatives Working TogetherIt seems like Cooperatives Working Together is really working together. Their latest announcement came out with DFA participating.

Cooperatives Working Together announced Tuesday
(last week) that it has accepted two bids from Dairy Farmers of America of Kansas City, MO: one to export 19.3 metric tons (42,500 pounds) of Mozzarella cheese to Taiwan, and a second bid of .248 metric tons (545 pounds) of consumer-wrapped Mozzarella cheese to Panama. CWT will pay the export bonus to the bidder, once completion of the cheese shipments is verified.

Both shipments are to countries that previously have not received product sold through CWT. These accepted bids increase CWT’s total cheese exports since it began operations two years ago to 4,916 tons (or 10.8 million pounds), and CWT’s total butter exports to 590 tons (1.3 million pounds). Previous shipments facilitated by CWT’s export assistance program have gone to Algeria, Barbados, Croatia, Egypt, Honduras, India, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Morocco, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Trinidad.
