WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP):                                         

In the Southern Cone region of South America, f.o.b. export prices 
for whole milk powder (WMP) are mixed on a narrower range. The market 
undertone is mixed as the WMP demand within the Mercosur bloc is 
weak, but fair/good outside the bloc. The bottom price of the range 
is reflecting steady export trades to Algeria and Russia while the 
top is mirroring light trading to Brazil. WMP production in the 
Southern Cone is irregular mostly driven by the demand for milkfat. 
WMP inventories are in balance in some plants, but are heavy in 
others.

26% BUTTERFAT:                           3,200 - 3,400
