SKIM MILK POWDER (SMP): 

Skim milk powder prices in Western Europe slightly increased at the 
bottom of the price range but are unchanged at the top. Manufacturers 
report that demand for new production is decent but supplies are 
somewhat limited. SMP exports from the EU during October are 2.1% 
below the level during October last year according to Eucolait. 
Cumulative exports January-October this year are 17% below the same 
period last year, according to Eurostat. The data is viewed as 
suggesting stronger exports in October than the year to date, 
reflecting a recent recovery in export strength. The top export 
destinations are Algeria, Indonesia, and China.
