Here’s the latest announcement from Cooperatives Working Together:
Cooperatives Working Together announced today that it accepted one export assistance bid last week for the sale of butter. The lone bid was from Land O’Lakes of Arden Hills, MN, for 36 metric tons (79,200 lbs.) of butter to the United Arab Emirates. CWT will pay an export bonus to the bidder, once completion of the butter shipment is verified.
I missed posting this announcement from last week:
CWT announced that it accepted six export assistance bids last week for the sale of cheese and butter and anhydrous milkfat.
For the first time, CWT accepted a bid from Michigan Milk Producers Association for the export of 95 MT (209,000 lbs) of butter to Turkey.
Two bids were accepted from Dairy Farmers of America; one for 37 MT (81,400 lbs) of Cheddar cheese to Japan and another for 19 MT of anhydrous milkfat to Peru (the first CWT export to that nation).
Two bids were accepted from LOL; one for 5 MT (11,000 lbs) of retail-packaged cheese to the Philippines and 0.25 MT (550 lbs) of retail-packaged butter also to the Philippines.
Finally, one bid was accepted from Foremost Farms for the export of 18 MT (39,600 lbs) of butter to Morocco.
