     Cheese - Foreign Type

     Report 49 - Released on December 02, 2020


     U.S. cheese imports from Germany and some other Western European countries maintained
     generally steady pricing. Heavy ordering by the retail sector within the EU was offset be
     weaker ordering from EU food survive customers. This left cheese for export flowing to keep
     filling orders. Most expected 2020 export orders to the US are booked so the focus of
     negotiations runs into Q1 2021.

     In the United States domestic prices increased $0.0025 for blue, gorgonzola, parmesan and
     romano, and other prices are steady.
