Here’s the latest announcement from Cooperatives Working Together:
CWT announced today it accepted three export assistance bids last week for the sale of cheese.
All of the bids were from Land O’Lakes, and all were destined for South Korea. The first bid was for the shipment of 111 MT (244,200 lbs) of Monterey Jack cheese; the second bid was for the shipment of 74 MT (162,800 lbs) of Cheddar cheese and the third was for the shipment of 10.8 MT (23,760 lbs) of Parmesan cheese.
These accepted bids increase CWT’s total 2007 export obligations for cheese to 5,331 MT (11.7 million lbs); its YTD butter exports to 4,573 MT (10.1 million lbs) and its YTD AMF exports to 1,642 MT (3.6 million lbs).
With these accepted bids, the milk equivalent is 440 million lbs in FY 07.
