Here’s the latest announcements from Cooperatives Working Together:
Cooperatives Working Together announced Monday that it has accepted an export assistance bid for the sale of cheese, the last approved during CWT’s third fiscal year, which ended June 30th, 2006. The bid is from Dairy Farmers of America of Kansas City, MO, for the export of 19 metric tons (41,800 pounds) of Mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese to Mexico. The bid was accepted late last Friday, and is the last CWT-facilitated cheese export to Mexico, as CWT’s trial program of cheese exports to that country ended last month. CWT will pay an export bonus to the bidder, once completion of the cheese shipment is verified. The CWT Export Assistance Task Force will review the effectiveness of cheese exports to Mexico later in the summer. Until then, CWT will continue to fund export bonuses only for butter and milkfat products, as well as whole milk powder, to Mexico.
Cooperatives Working Together announced Thursday that it has accepted an export assistance bid for the sale of cheese. The bid is from Dairy Farmers of America of Kansas City, MO, for the export of 46 metric tons (101,200 pounds) of Mozzarella cheese to Saudi Arabia. CWT will pay an export bonus to the bidder, once completion of the cheese shipment is verified.
Cooperatives Working Together announced Friday that it has accepted an export assistance bid for the sale of butter. The bid is from Dairigold Inc. (formerly WestFarm Foods) of Seattle, WA, for the export of 25 metric tons (55,000 pounds) of butter to Russia. CWT will pay an export bonus to the bidder, once completion of the butter shipment is verified.
