MD_DA811 Cheese - Foreign Type Report 37 - Released on September 09, 2020 In Germany, the sliced cheese market tone is unchanged from last week. Recent increases in temperatures across the country have caused declines in milk production and, by the same token, drops in cheese outputs. As so, cheese inventories remain low. Generally, there are enough supplies of cheese to meet contracted orders, but additional inquiries can barely be fulfilled. Bulk consumers and food retailers are both taking sustained loads of sliced cheese. Demands from the catering service sector are fluctuating, partly due to weather outcomes and their repercussions on customers' traffic to restaurants and hotels. Other European Union countries have steady demands. In the U.S., domestic prices for blue, gorgonzola, parmesan, and Romano have increased by $.1125, whereas Swiss cheese prices are up $.9900. All other prices are steady.
