Here’s the latest announcement from Cooperatives Working Together:
CWT announced today that it accepted six export assistance bids last week for the sale of anhydrous milkfat and butter.
One of those bids was from Foremost Farms of Baraboo, WI, for the export of 500 metric tons (1.1 million pounds) of European-style butter to the Netherlands.
The other five bids were from Dairy Farmers of America of Kansas City, MO, and all were for exports of anhydrous milkfat: 500 tons (1.1 million lbs.) to Indonesia; 350 tons (770,000 lbs.) to Belgium; 100 tons (220,000 lbs.) to Spain; and a pair of exports to the Netherlands, in the amounts of 252 tons (554,400 lbs.) and 200 tons (440,000 lbs.).
These accepted bids increase CWT’s total 2007 export obligations for cheese to 5,713 metric tons (12.6 million lbs.), its YTD export obligations for butter to 10,970 metric tons (24.1 million lbs.), and its YTD anhydrous milkfat exports to 4,386 tons (9.6 million lbs.).
