SWEET WHEY POWDER:  Whey prices were unchanged to lower with declines 
noted on the low end of the range.  Dry whey production continues to be 
restricted by the decrease in overall cheese production in Europe.  Dry 
whey supplies are viewed as fairly tight.  Export demand is steady with 
increased competition coming from the U.S.  Exports of sweet dry whey for 
January to October 2014, as reported by GTIS, showed a decrease of 1.7%, 
compared to the same period last year.  October exports were comparable 
with the previous month's volumes.  The top three destinations are China, 
Indonesia and Malaysia.
