MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  August 27, 2015 (REPORT 34)                   


DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           

CENTRAL: Dry buttermilk prices are higher. Some sellers are reporting 
getting inquiries, but have no available dry buttermilk to sell. Interest is 
starting to pick up for the fall baking season. Sellers who do have 
available dry buttermilk are offering to long term customers first. Dry 
buttermilk production is declining as cream multiples pick up and butter 
manufacturing tapers. Inventories are low, but adequate for most producers.                                                              
EAST: Dry buttermilk prices moved higher in the East. Production is steady 
to lower. Demand is fair. Interest from bakeries is expected to increase 
seasonally. Movement is mostly through commitments. Inventories are adequate 
for most contractual customer needs. Buyers are reporting that buttermilk is 
scarce in the spot market. The market undertone is firming.  

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .7300 - .8700
