WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP):                                         

	Whole milk prices are steady to lower in a quiet market. The high demand for 
milk fat has helped support prices for some WMP sales. Production is mostly made 
to order for existing business. There is limited additional interest from export 
markets due to the strong euro in comparison to other currencies.
	According to Eucolait, January through June 2017 whole milk production is 
0.5 percent above 2016 production for the same time frame. June whole milk powder 
production is 1.0 percent below 2016 June production. The top four WMP producing 
countries, Netherlands, France, Germany, and Denmark each increased 2017 January-
June production compared to 2016: 15.3 percent, 3.2 percent, 0.6 percent and 2.7 
percent, respectively.
