MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  August 04, 2016 (REPORT 31)                   

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
F.O.B. spot prices for dry buttermilk in the West are steady to 
higher on the range and mostly series. The market undertone is 
firm as demand is above current supply. Interest from the bakery 
and confectionery sectors is good. Western butter manufacturing 
is ongoing, but at a lower rate than Q1 and Q2 production 
levels. Consequently, condensed buttermilk supplies are less 
available to dry. In addition, significant condensed buttermilk 
volumes are moving into ice cream manufacturing. As a result, 
dry buttermilk production less active. Inventories are tight. 
The July 2016 Dairy Market News monthly average for the West dry 
buttermilk mostly series is $0.7720 compared to $0.7914 a year 
ago. 

F.O.B. WEST: .7600 - .8600   MOSTLY:  .7800 - .8500
