     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.
