October CWT-Assisted Export Sales Nearly 11.2 Million Pounds

CWT member cooperatives secured 89 contracts in October, adding 11.2 million pounds of product to CWT-assisted sales in 2024. In milk equivalent, this is equal to 100.9 million pounds of milk on a milkfat basis. These products will go to customers in Asia, Oceania, Middle East-North Africa, Europe, Central America, the Caribbean and South America and will be shipped from October 2024 through June 2025.

Exporting dairy products is critical to the viability of dairy farmers and their cooperatives across the country. Whether or not a cooperative is actively engaged in exporting cheese, butter, anhydrous milkfat, cream cheese, or whole milk powder, moving products into world markets is essential. CWT provides a means to move domestic dairy products to overseas markets by helping to overcome U.S. dairy’s trade disadvantages.
