Here’s the latest announcement from Cooperatives Working Together:

Cooperatives Working Together announced today that it accepted two export assistance bids last week for the sale of cheese. Both bids were from Land O’Lakes of Arden Hills, MN, for identical volumes of retail-packaged cheese: 3.4 metric tons (7,480 lbs.) of cheese to Qatar, and another 3.4 tons of cheese to Saudi Arabia.

These accepted bids increase CWT’s total 2007 export obligations for cheese to 5,135 metric tons (11.3 million lbs.), its YTD anhydrous milkfat exports to 1,643 tons (3.6 million lbs.), and its YTD export obligations for butter to 4,572 metric tons (10.1 million lbs.).
