SWEET WHEY POWDER:  

Whey prices increased at the lower end of the price range. 
Manufacturers of whey have been frustrated with price levels this 
year, so this increase is welcome. A factor moving prices has been 
sales for use later in the year. Thus, there remains some 
apprehension as to whether this will lead to lower than desired 
demand later this year as customers rely on their own inventories 
rather than seeking new production. Eucolait reports that January-
March EU whey exports increased 4.4% from the same period of 2015.
                                         
                                                                 
NONHYGROSCOPIC:                            575 - 675
