MD DA340 Dry Buttermilk  - West                             

MADISON, WI.  July 27, 2017 (REPORT 30)                     

DRY BUTTERMILK - WEST                                       

Western dry buttermilk f.o.b. spot prices are mixed on an 
unsettled market. The high end of the pricing range has risen as 
a few buyers/end users are paying higher premiums for brand-name 
dry buttermilk. Meanwhile, some spot sales pushed slightly up 
the bottom of the mostly series. Spot sales activity has been 
light throughout the week. Dry buttermilk production is mixed. 
Several butter manufacturers report scattered production based 
on contractual needs. At this point, the bulk of condensed 
buttermilk supplies continue clearing into ice cream 
manufacturing. Thus, drying schedules are limited. Dry 
buttermilk inventories are balanced in some plants, but tight in 
others.
