Here’s the latest announcement from Cooperatives Working Together:

Cooperatives Working Together announced today that it accepted four export assistance bids last week for the sale of cheese and milkfat.

The first three bids are from Dairy Farmers of America of Kansas City, MO: one for the export of 114 metric tons (250800 pounds) of Cheddar cheese to Poland (the first CWT-facilitated export to that country), 18 metric tons (39,600 lbs.) of Monterey Jack cheese to Japan, and 320 metric tons (704,000 lbs.) of anhydrous milkfat to Indonesia, Panama and the Philippines. The fourth bid was from Foremost Farms of Baraboo, WI, for the export of 46 metric tons (101,200 lbs.) of Mozzarella cheese to Korea.

CWT will pay an export bonus to the bidders, once completion of the milkfat and cheese shipments is verified.
