MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  October 27, 2016 (REPORT 43)                  


DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: Dry buttermilk prices are mixed in f.o.b. spot markets. 
Production rates vary, as some regional manufacturers are drying 
buttermilk while others are selling condensed buttermilk. Market 
sources report a few processors in a sold-out position. Holdings 
of dry buttermilk are uneven in a tight market. Established 
customer accounts are handled in a timely manner. Demand is light, 
as buyers are not yet actively seeking dry buttermilk. The market 
undertone is unsettled.
EAST: Prices for dry buttermilk rose slightly at the top of the 
range, based on limited f.o.b. spot transaction. Tight cream 
supplies and minimal churning at some balancing facilities limit 
Eastern dry buttermilk output. At this point, f.o.b. spot and 
reseller load availability is light. Buyers, in general, continue 
to remain cautious with hand-to-mouth purchases. The undertone is 
mixed, in an unsettled market.

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .8400 - .9250
