MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       
                                                            
Western dry buttermilk f.o.b. prices are mixed on a narrower 
range. Some spot sales pushed up the bottom price of the range 
and mostly series. At this point, the market undertone is firm 
as supply is below the current buyers' demand. Interest from 
bakers is steadily improving, as the spring baking season is 
close. With most balancing plant managers focusing on clearing 
large condensed skim volumes, dry buttermilk output has been 
curtailed. In addition, several condensed buttermilk intakes 
have been used internally in some plants, limiting the 
availability for drying. Dry buttermilk inventories remain tight 
throughout the region.

F.O.B. WEST: .9400 - 1.0500   MOSTLY:  .9800 - 1.0200
