Here’s the latest announcement from Cooperatives Working Together:
Cooperatives Working Together announced today that it accepted three export assistance bids last week for the sale of cheese.
All of the bids were from Land O’Lakes of Arden Hills, MN, for the export of small amounts of retail-packaged cheese products. These include 2 metric tons (4,400 lbs.) of cheese to Bahrain; 1 ton (2,200 lbs.) of cheese to Jordan; and 0.4 tons (880 lbs.) of cheese to Kuwait.
CWT will pay an export bonus to the bidder, once completion of the cheese shipments is verified.
These accepted bids increase CWT’s total 2007 export obligations for cheese to 5,268 metric tons (11.6 million lbs.), its YTD export obligations for butter to 5,117 metric tons (11.3 million lbs.), and its YTD anhydrous milkfat exports to 1,680 tons (3.7 million lbs.).
