MD_DA811 Cheese - Foreign Type Report 27 - Released on July 07, 2021 Export demand for semi hard cheese manufactured in Western Europe is described as stable and good by sources. Prices in euros for Western European manufactured cheese are also steady this week. However, shipping costs are nudging up. This is generally attributed to shipping containers being in short supply. Orders are being filled in part from aging stocks. This is of minimal concern as these stocks are considered adequate. One of the largest global dairy processors has signed a deal to purchase a cheese company with two plants in the United Kingdom. The acquired company makes specialty cheese. Upon regulatory approval being finalized, the acquired company will fold into European cheese operations of the acquiring processor. United States domestic Swiss prices increased $0.1725. Domestic prices increased $0.0600 for blue, gorgonzola, parmesan and romano. All other prices are steady.
