In the fall 2009 DFA Leader DFA claims they hold 13 import licenses “Most of them acquired with our Borden Cheese purchase in 1999.”
If you go to:
http://www.fas.usda.gov/info/factsheets/dairyim.asp
you will find import licenses must be renewed every year.
DFA claims “Ninety-five percent of the volume associated with these licenses are for European cheeses, which are not available in in the United States.”
If you go to:
http://www.fas.usda.gov/itp/imports/dairyimports09/dil09.asp
you can see for yourself, the claim cannot be substantiated. Only six of the licenses are for the EU and it is hard to claim the uniqueness of the cheeses.
DFA import licenses:
*Butter
Country of Origin – Other Countries
*Dried Skim Milk
Country of Origin – Any Country
*Other Cheese – NSPF
Country of Origin – EU
Country of Origin – New Zealand
*Blue Mold

These imports are probably with their "joint ventures" so they don't count. haha. They also need to import all the butter from your previous post to mix with their "domestic" MPCs to make cheese. soon, they will not need any fluid milk. They will make all their cheese with imports.
ReplyDeleteNote to DFA members:
ReplyDeleteWhy are these two "gentlemen" smiling?? If the system's broken, who "broke" it? These Two searching for solutions to your problem amounts to a pair of pointy eared, bushy tailed guardians watching your henhouse... times are tough; maybe they're smiling because you DFA guys are generious enough to keep paying their salaries while they go their merry incompetent, larcenous way... later, Nate Wilson
