Year-to-date, CWT has assisted member co-operatives who have contracts to sell 50.500m pounds of cheese, 25.086m pounds of butter and 40.194m pounds of WMP to 35 countries on six continents. The amounts of cheese, butter and whole milk powder in these sales contracts represent the equivalent of 1.324 billion pounds of milk on a milkfat basis. The totals have been adjusted due to cancellations.
The amounts of dairy products and related milk volumes reflect current contracts for delivery, not completed export volumes. CWT will pay export assistance to the bidders only when export and delivery of the product is verified by the submission of the required documentation.
