SWEET WHEY POWDER:  European whey prices weakened at the bottom of the 
price range. There is little activity due to many customers being 
adequately supplied and sellers not feeling pressured to reduce holdings. 
This stall in significant transactions awaits a change in buyers or 
sellers motivation to complete transactions. Exports of sweet dry whey 
for January-September 2015, as reported by GTIS, showed a decrease of 
5.0%, compared to the same period last year.  EU whey exports to China 
increased this year, as well as to Indonesia and Malaysia.
                                                                   
NONHYGROSCOPIC:                            525 - 750
