WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP):                                         

Whole milk powder prices are increasing. Export demand is limited due to 
higher pricing levels. Production is limited as most producers are only 
making WMP for current orders. Manufacturers do not want to keep high 
stock levels of WMP because of shelf life concerns. According to GTIS, 
July EU exports decreased in July and are lower than 2014 levels year to 
date. Algerian imports have decreased 55% YTD from last year. Oman has 
become the number one importer, importing 29% more WMP YTD than a year 
ago.
