CWT Assists with 23.9 Million Pounds of Export Sales
November 7, 2013
In October, Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted 77 bids from 11 member cooperatives. Sales totaled 12.6 million pounds of cheese and 11.3 million pounds of butter, equivalent to 80.1 million pounds of milk on a milkfat basis. That is equal to more than 50% of the year-over-year increase in September’s milk production.
These sales brings CWT-assisted total export sales in 2013 to 106 million pounds of cheese and 81 million pounds of butter, the equivalent of 2.93 billion pounds of milk on a milkfat basis, or nearly five times the year-over-year increase in year to date U.S. milk production through September 2013.
