MD_DA451 Butter Highlights Report 29 - Released on July 17, 2020 Despite many loads of cream going to ice cream production, butter production is ongoing around the country. There is plenty of butter in inventories to meet the near-term demand as some processors are using microfixing techniques to meet requests from their customers. Domestic demand is modest, with limited activity occurring as the butter price, overall, weakens in f.o.b. spot markets. Rises in the number of coronavirus cases are forcing some businesses to re-close, while at the same time limiting dine-ins. However, take-out orders are still high. Across the country, this week, bulk prices are ranging from flat market to 8.0 cents above the market.
