     Cheese - Foreign Type

     Report 29 - Released on July 17, 2019

     The demand for cheese in Germany is stable, and market conditions are more balanced this
     week. Sales within and outside the country are for the most parts at seasonal levels.
     Generally, stock limitations are making it difficult to honor any additional requests
     outside of contractual agreements. Sliced cheese output was reduced in favor of Italian type
     cheeses for delivery in Italy. Current sliced cheese prices are not in favor of production
     as the net profits generated by manufacturers are very low. In the U.S., blue, gorgonzola,
     parmesan, and Romano cheese prices declined $.0300. All other prices are unchanged from the
     previous week.
