    Gordon Food Service Market Updates for April 16, 2021 Dairy | Eggs Large - No change Medium - No change Small - No change Retail demand mixed. Supplies of extra large and large well balanced and held confidently. Market steady to full steady. Dairy | Butter Butter- Up Cream inventories are continuing to tighten as ice cream production starts to compete for raw material and hits it's production stride. Retail sales show signs of decline, but overall are still healthy. With restaurants reopening food service distributors are still coming back to the buying table, but orders are still below expectations. Dairy | Cheese Barrel -Up Block -Up The CME Block market responded to the governments release of another billion dollars in the USDA Box program. Speculators feel this will have an effect on the markets for the short term but will not be sustainable for the long term. Grocery & Bakery | Soybean Oil A logistics bottleneck has added to an already tight supply situation. Limited availability of trucks, appointments and a backlog of packaging materials are creating delays in shipping. This comes amid a robust demand period with customers reopening and restocking their bare pantries. A piece of good news - the Brazilian crop has come to market and export orders have shifted from the U.S. to South America. This at least provides our supply chain a much needed break. With planting underway, we need to see good weather to help with yields for the next crop. Prices should remain firm given processors have placed most customers on allocation. Our current supply of beans to crush is established, and the inventory is tight.
