SWEET WHEY POWDER:  

Whey powder prices in the EU are mixed in a narrower range. Lower 
range prices are up slightly while upper range prices are down 
slightly. Eucolait reports that 2016 EU whey exports through February 
compared with January-February 2015 increased 7.7%. During the first 
two months of 2016, the main destinations for EU whey powder exports 
and percentage of total whey exports for the period were: China 
29.8%; Indonesia 15.6%; and Malaysia 9.4%. Many EU whey manufacturers 
are frustrated with rather static prices and do not expect any 
significant improvement in coming months.

                                             
                                                                 
NONHYGROSCOPIC:                            525 - 675
