Butter Imports Remain Heavy as New York Receipts Rise
New York reports February butter receipts at the lightest since 1925 for domestics, while foreign butter at 3 623 000 pounds marks a multi year peak. Total February supply exceeds last year as prices soften then recover. Imports show the largest weekly volume since inflows began, led by Latvia Argentina and New Zealand shipments. Egg receipts hit a February low with March modestly higher and storage doubles year on year but still minor. Union threats over truck deliveries threaten butter and egg supplies as labor groups accuse outside drivers of unfair competition. Truck arrivals account for about ten percent of butter and fifteen percent of eggs, with Missouri and Iowa contributing most hauls. Some merchants resist itinerant truckers while others welcome truck transport to avoid dock congestion.
