Labor shortages persist across the business, but supply for many commodities is improving. Wings are becoming more readily accessible at the moment, but demand is projected to increase as football season approaches. Tenders cost a lot of money and are hard to come by. Breasts are in high demand, and the market is rising upward.

Beef

Prices are continuing to rise, while supply is decreasing. Finding product for the rib is now the primary priority; cost is a secondary consideration. Tenders and loin thin meats quickly rebound upwards due to decreased supply, benefiting the loin complex. With a mix of retail and export demand driving it, chucks and rounds are hard to come by and priced more.

 

Pork

Due to retail demand, bone in butts saw a little increase late last week and should now trade sideways. Loins are likewise trading in a sideways pattern. Spareribs are on their way back up due to increased demand and price cuts in recent weeks. Bellies appeared to have reached their peak and may be starting to decline, but fresh bellies are still in short supply.

Seafood

With the new season, the supply of brown shrimp and white shrimp has improved. Whites, browns, and peeled shrimp in certain sizes are still unavailable. The huge tails of North Atlantic lobster (56oz and greater) are on allocation until the start of the Nova Scotia lobster season in December. Crab meat that has been pasteurized is still in scarce supply.
