WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP):  

Whole milk powder prices in the EU weakened. Manufacturers comment 
that pricing is also weak compared with last year. This may place a 
constraint on higher production in coming months.


Ecolait reports that for February 2016 compared with February 2015, EU 
WMP production increased 22.6%. EU 2016 WMP exports through February 
compared with January-February 2015 increased 0.2%. During the first 
two months of 2016, the main destinations for EU butter exports and 
percentage of total butter exports for the period were: Oman 19.2%; 
Algeria 7.3%; and Nigeria 7.1%.
