WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP): 

Whole milk powder prices in Western Europe were nudged slightly lower 
at each end of the price range this week on a U.S. dollar basis. Among 
countries, prices in Germany were steady on a Euro basis, while in 
Netherlands, there was a slight decline on a Euro basis. The price 
movements are regarded more as movement within a trading range than 
signifying any new trend. Demand for WMP produced in Western Europe 
has been steady. This is slightly frustrating to manufacturers who 
have been actively seeking to increase export volumes. The Dairy 
Market News International Monthly Summary and Averages for 
Western European WMP in January, 2017, was $3,284, up from 
$2,182 one year earlier.
