SWEET WHEY POWDER:                                               
Sweet dry whey prices moved marginally lower on the upper end of the 
range.  The market for food grade remains fairly stable.  Good demand 
from infant formula manufacturers for eventual export has supported the 
market.  Cheese production is below year ago levels, due to the 
continuing Russian ban, and continues to lower whey production on a year 
over year comparison.  Feed grade whey demand has weakened.  Exports of 
sweet dry whey for January-March 2015, as reported by GTIS, showed an 
increase of 3.4%, compared to the same period last year.  March's export 
volumes increased significantly with all of the top ten destinations 
expanding their volumes, compared to the previous month.
