       Whey prices in Europe adjusted slightly down. Demand remains 
good. While prices have backed off the highs for the year, 
manufacturers still find whey profitable and are comfortable with 
inventories. The Dairy Market News March 2017 Western Europe whey 
monthly average price per metric ton was $1,116, compared with 
$600 one year earlier.

months. Demand in Europe is stable.
