WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP):    

Whole milk powder prices declined, with markets described as quiet. 
European production of WMP is geared to cover current needs with little 
building of stocks.  Export demand continues to be slow with a majority 
of transactions moving through current contracts.  New business 
opportunities are limited, due to the availability of substantially lower 
priced supplies from New Zealand.  January - April 2015 whole milk powder 
exports for the EU-28, as reported by GTIS, decreased 11.0% compared to 
the same period last year.  The top three destinations for European WMP 
are Oman, Algeria and Nigeria.
