MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  November 10, 2016 (REPORT 45)                 

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       

Western dry buttermilk f.o.b. spot prices are mixed on the range 
and mostly series. For most industry participants, the market 
undertone remains firm. Orders from dry mix processors and the 
bakery sector are strong ahead of the year-end holiday needs. 
Spot trading has been moderate throughout the week. Class II 
processors are requesting more condensed buttermilk volumes. 
Therefore, dry buttermilk production is irregular. Inventories 
are slightly tight in many plants. The October 2016 Dairy Market 
News monthly average for the West dry buttermilk mostly series 
is $0.8570 compared to $0.8898 a year ago. The NASS Dairy 
Products report noted U.S. dry buttermilk production during 
September 2016 totaled 7.2 million pounds, 3.9 percent higher 
than a year ago. Total U.S. dry buttermilk month-ending stocks 
for September were 17.0 million pounds, 72.6 percent above last 
year.
