MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  July 16, 2015 (REPORT 28)                          

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL  

Central whey prices moved lower this week. Manufacturers believe that 
there is pressure on the market for prices to go lower. Some 
manufacturers are selling at current pricing levels because they do 
not want to hold stocks in a downward trending market. Some 
manufacturers note that buyers are purchasing for future needs due to 
higher futures pricing levels. Export sales have started to increase. 
Some buyers note buying product from other regions in order to achieve 
desired pricing levels. Whey production continues to be strong as 
cheese manufacturers are reporting solid production rates. Processors 
are choosing to make dry whey instead of making other products due to 
prices of other goods. Animal feed whey production is intermittent. 
Some of the feed whey manufacturers that are not producing currently 
are performing maintenance. Manufacturers note that some end users are 
choosing to buy feed blends containing food grade whey instead of 
animal feed whey because they feel it makes a better quality animal.
