Coronavirus lockdown orders have made waves in food commodity markets. Avocados and citrus fruits are up. Bacon, cheese and milk are down.
Brown butter, which is simply butter cooked until toasty in smell and taste, enriches this easy mac and cheese recipe with a crunchy top.
Conagra Brands Inc., whose portfolio includes Duncan Hines, Chef Boyardee and Birds Eye, is seeing a lift across all the categories, CEO Sean Connolly said late last month.Snack consumption is also going up. That’s partly because people are stuck at home, but also because they’re spending more time doing activities that lend to munching, such as binge-watching “Tiger King” on Netflix.
In the first part of March, snack sales at a popular convenience store in the country were up 9% from a year earlier.Even with the huge jump in grocery store buying, the blow from the closure of restaurants is just too big to overcome in some markets. Bacon has been one example. That’s also why there’s been things like milk dumping. Farmers are disposing of excess supplies because demand from makers of cheese and butter has dried up.
Belgium’s storied pomme frite purveyors are another victim. The country is the world’s top shipper of frozen potato products, hawking fries, chips and mashed potatoes to more than 160 countries, said Romain Cools, secretary general of industry group Belgapom. The vast majority is exported, and demand dried up as the food-service industry ground to a halt. European processing-potato futures are down almost 90% this year, trading near all-time lows.
