SKIM MILK POWDER (SMP): 

Skim milk powder prices in Western Europe increased at each end 
of the price range. There is a declining supply available to 
buyers following shrinking milk supplies and SMP production. 
Manufacturers are increasingly cautious about sales terms due to 
uncertainty as to what production volumes will be possible 
moving forward. EU SMP exports January-June 2016 decreased 13.7% 
from the same period of 2015 according to Eucolait. The top three 
export destinations and percentage of total exports are: Algeria, 
14.6%; China, 8.4%; and Egypt, 8.3%.

1.25% BUTTERFAT:                         2,150 - 2,250
