WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP):   

Whole milk powder prices in Europe are steady. Demand has slightly 
slowed, with buyers generally stocked for immediate needs. This has 
allowed buyers to more deliberately evaluate conditions before 
finalizing new transactions. On the other hand, sellers are 
comfortable with inventories and are not presently motivated to make 
concessions to complete sales. EU WMP exports for 2016 through 
November compared with the same period of 2015 increased 0.9% 
according to Eucolait. The main destinations and percentage of total 
were Oman, 13.1%; Algeria, 8.8%; and Lebanon, 4.9%.
