Market activity is moderate to good for domestically produced varieties. 
Production is active to keep pace with current orders and plan for future 
needs. Prices for domestically produced varieties are mainly higher, 
mostly driven by higher U.S. pricing indices. The exception is slightly 
lower lagging adjustments on the Swiss pricing. Demand for imported 
varieties is steady.
