MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West 

MADISON, WI.  August 11, 2016 (REPORT 32)                   

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                            
Western dry buttermilk f.o.b. prices shifted markedly higher 
this week. According to many industry participants, the domestic 
demand is inching up as the baking season is approaching. 
However, supply is lower compared to the current buyers' needs. 
The market undertone is firm. Dry buttermilk production is 
trending lower as condensed buttermilk volumes are less 
available for drying. Inventories are tightening throughout the 
western region. The NASS Dairy Products report noted U.S. dry 
buttermilk production during June 2016 totaled 8.1 million 
pounds, 22.6 percent higher than a year ago. Total U.S. dry 
buttermilk month-ending stocks for June were 21.4 million 
pounds, 1.2 percent below last year.
