Cooperatives Working Together announced today that it accepted an export assistance bid last week for the sale of whole milk powder.

The bid was from Land O’Lakes of Arden Hills, MN, for the export of 60 metric tons (132,000 pounds) of whole milk powder to Trinidad. CWT will pay an export bonus to the bidder, only when delivery of the product is verified by the submission of the required documentation.

This accepted bid increases CWT’s total 2007 export obligations for whole milk powder to 860 metric tons (1.89 million lbs.). In addition, CWT’s YTD export obligations for cheese are 5,595 metric tons (12.3 million lbs.), its YTD anhydrous milkfat export obligations to 4,385 tons (9.6 million lbs.), and its YTD export obligations for butter to 10,975 metric tons (24.1 million lbs.).
