     Cheese - Foreign Type

     Report 14 - Released on April 01, 2020

     In Germany, uncertainties about the coronavirus have led people to extensive purchases of
     cheese. As a result, grocery store demands for cheese to replenish stocks are still high.
     Some of the orders could not be fully satisfied despite the fact that orders from other food
     sectors have declined. Cheese production is unchanged from a week ago, whereas supplies are
     at a low level. Prices vary from one seller to another. In the U.S., the prices for
     wholesale blue, gorgonzola, parmesan Italy, and Romano decreased $.1100. All other prices
     are similar to those of the week before.
