FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE                                              


Domestically produced cheese prices have increased, including Swiss. 
Producers are still looking to funnel available milk into cheese 
production in order to increase profits and inventory levels. Some 
buyers are looking to increase stocks for the upcoming holidays.
