DRY WHEY - CENTRAL

Central dry whey prices were mainly lower this week. Whey production 
is steady. Contract orders are being fulfilled. There were some end 
users who bought heavy earlier and are now entering the spot market 
again. Some manufacturers are storing product as they take a wait-and-
see approach for higher pricing. There have been several spot offers, 
but few spot sales this week. Animal feed whey prices were steady to 
lower. Demand is steady to light. Production is sporadic with some 
food grade producers using start-up and shut-down product.
