CHEDDAR CHEESE:     

Cheese prices moved lower this reporting period at the upper end of the 
price range. Cheese is viewed as providing the best return to 
manufacturers, which is expected to draw more milk into cheese 
manufacturing in the new production year, away from powders, especially 
WMP. Year to date cheese exports through May were mixed in Oceania with 
Australian exports below year ago levels, while New Zealand saw an 
increase in cheese exports compared to last year.  Current demand is 
steady.
