WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP): 

Prices for whole milk powder in Western Europe firmed at each 
end of the price range. There is good buying from the European 
food industry, which is supporting price strength. Contracts for 
first quarter 2017 are being developed. Export interest is also 
helping to support prices. Some buyers are shopping around in 
hopes of finding slightly better price offers than initial 
quotes from some manufacturers. EU WMP exports January-June 2016 
increased 2.7% from the same period of 2015 according to 
Eucolait. The top three export destinations and percentage of 
total exports are: Oman, 16.0%; Algeria, 6.5%; and Cuba, 4.7%.

26% BUTTERFAT:                           2,750 - 2,900
