Okay, I’m a little behind. I did spend a lot of the last week in Indianapolis with the Team Ethanol though. So here’s last week’s announcements from Cooperatives Working Together:
Cooperatives Working Together announced Monday that it has accepted an export assistance bid for the export of cheese. The bid is from Land O’Lakes of Arden Hills, MN, for the export of 40 metric tons (88,000 lbs.) of Mozzarella cheese to Taiwan. CWT will pay export bonuses to the bidder, once completion of the cheese shipment is verified.
Cooperatives Working Together announced Tuesday that it has accepted an export assistance bid for the export of butter. The bid is from California Dairies of Artesia, CA, for the export of 144 metric tons (317,800 pounds) of butter to Nicaragua. CWT will pay export bonuses to the bidder, once completion of the butter shipment is verified. This is the first CWT-facilitated export to Nicaragua.
Cooperatives Working Together announced Thursday that it has accepted five export assistance bids for the export of butter, cheese and milk powder. The first two bids are from Land O’Lakes of Arden Hills, MN: one for the export of 91 metric tons (200,200 pounds) of butter to Hong Kong, and a second for the export of 80 metric tons (176,000 lbs.) of butter to Honduras.
