CWT Assists with 6 million Pounds of Dairy Product Export Sales


Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) member cooperatives accepted 28 offers of export assistance from CWT that helped them capture sales contracts for 4.453 million pounds (2,020 metric tons) of Cheddar, Monterey Jack and Gouda cheeses; 454,152 pounds (206 metric tons) of butter and 1.124 million pounds (510 metric tons) of whole milk powder. The product will be delivered during the period from January through June 2019 and is the equivalent of 59.531 million pounds of milk on a milkfat basis.

Assisting CWT members through the Export Assistance program positively affects all U.S. dairy farmers and all dairy cooperatives by strengthening and maintaining the value of dairy products that directly impact their milk price. It does this by helping member cooperatives gain and maintain world market share for U.S dairy products. As a result, the program has significantly expanded the total demand for U.S. dairy products and the demand for U.S. farm milk that produces those products.

The amounts of dairy products and related milk volumes reflect current contracts for delivery, not completed export volumes. CWT pays export assistance to the bidders only when export and delivery of the product is verified by required documentation.

All dairy farmers and all dairy cooperatives should invest in CWT. Membership information is available on the CWT website.
