The same data will be collected and disseminated through AMS Marketing Analysis and Reporting Services (MARS) platform. The new pdf report can be accessed on the AMS website at: https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/ams_1092.pdf Milk production has continued to decline in parts of Europe, though some contacts indicate farm level milk output is comparable to this time last year. Cheesemakers are running steady to lighter schedules, as high input costs and declining milk availability are having negative impacts on cheese production. Retail demand for cheese is steady, while contacts note strong food service sales. Export demand for cheese is softening. Stakeholders say purchasers in international markets are hesitant to secure loads of cheese from Europe at current prices. Despite wavering demand, cheese inventories in Europe remain tight and some contacts report having few spot loads available for purchasers looking to secure loads.
