SWEET WHEY POWDER:    

Dry whey prices moved slightly lower  at the low end of the price range 
but are unchanged at the top in an overall weak market.   Manufacturers 
are moving increasing volumes of liquid whey, reducing dry whey 
production.  Trading activity for sweet whey powder is steady.  
Production is showing some declines as milk volumes are seasonally 
declining and cheese production is reduced.  The global whey market is 
very competitive and contributes to the weak market undertone. Exports of 
sweet dry whey for January-April 2015, as reported by GTIS, showed an 
increase of 1.3%, compared to the same period last year.  April's export 
volumes were slightly lower compared to the previous month.  Exports to 
China and other important Asian markets were generally steady.   
                                                                                                      
NONHYGROSCOPIC:                            825 - 1,050
