MD DA350 Dry Buttermilk (Central and East)                  

MADISON, WI.  November 17, 2016 (REPORT 46)                 


DRY BUTTERMILK - CENTRAL AND EAST                           
                                                            
CENTRAL: Dry buttermilk prices in the Central region are steady to 
higher on light f.o.b. spot trades. Butter churns are expected to 
see additional volumes of cream during the Thanksgiving holiday 
week, increasing condensed and dry buttermilk production. Spot 
offerings remain scarce, but producers are current on contracts. 
Demand for dry buttermilk is steady. The market undertone is 
unsettled. 
EAST: The dry buttermilk price in the East advanced at the bottom 
of the range, but remained steady at the top. Manufacturers' held 
stocks are below current demand. Spot market activity is little to 
none, due to the tight supplies. However, production is expected 
to increase next week, as some cream based manufacturers will shut 
down for portions of the holiday week, forcing more cream to 
churns. Seasonal accounts are good for baking. The dry buttermilk 
market undertone is unsettled.

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:    .8800 - .9225
