Cooperatives Working TogetherI know I’ve been away for a couple weeks and posting hasn’t been normal but that’s all changed. Look for some exciting new information coming out on Wednesday! Here’s last week’s announcements from Cooperatives Working Together:

  • Cooperatives Working Together announced Friday that it has accepted two export assistance bids for the sale of butter. The bids are from WestFarm Foods of Seattle, WA: one for the export of 250 metric tons (550,000 pounds) of butter to Saudi Arabia, and a second in the amount of 25 metric tons (55,000 lbs.) for export to Russia. CWT will pay an export bonus to the bidder, once completion of the butter shipments is verified.
  • Cooperatives Working Together announced Thursday that it has accepted an export assistance bid for the sale of anhydrous milkfat. The bid is from Select Milk Producers of Artesia, NM, for the export of 100 metric tons (220,000 pounds) of anhydrous milkfat to Qatar. CWT will pay an export bonus to the bidder, once completion of the milkfat shipment is verified. This is the first CWT-approved export to Qatar.
