MD_DA128 Cheese - Oceania Report 27 - Released on July 01, 2020 Cheddar pieces in Oceania are mixed. There is slight firming in low range pricing. Top of range pricing is steady. Sources believe that some recent cheddar sales for the Australian market account for the firming. Almost no cheddar is currently being made at this time of year. Current spot market buyers are not finding many price breaks on cheddar. Some uncommitted stocks remain but with remaining uncommitted seasonal stocks being limited, sellers are not much inclined to offer price concessions. Buyers who wait too long may be out of luck in making last minute spot purchases.
