University of Minnesota economist Marin Bozic warned of a cheese oversupply over the next six months as a new Michigan plant ramps up to 800,000 pounds of cheddar daily. He said U.S. cheese capacity will rise 7% by next summer while domestic demand grows only 1-2% annually, and the government food box program may end under a Biden administration.
Rising cheese capacity against slow demand growth implies downward pressure on cheese and milk prices, which weakens dairy-linked feed demand.

The expected cheese oversupply from new plant capacity, with demand growth lagging and food box purchases possibly ending, weighs on sentiment and forward prices.
