MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  April 21, 2016 (REPORT 16)                         

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                                                                                              

A weak undertone prevails this week in the Central region whey market. 
Several industry contacts report offers from manufacturers and resellers 
alike in reaction to ongoing high levels of cheese making. Manufacturers' 
inventories continue to build as some feel no urgency to move fresh powder 
at a lower price. A handful of whey producers feel demand for whey is 
softening and are having a hard time moving whey at their desired price 
level. However, other industry participants report sales continuing at 
usual market overages, leaving the demand for whey in the Central region 
scattered. A small number of industry contacts report combatting 
considerably lower prices in the international whey market as well as 
rising pressure from western whey producers. Prices for animal feed whey 
are steady to lower in a quiet market. Feed blenders' interest is light to 
moderate. 
                                                                 
F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .1800 - .2800   MOSTLY:    .2100 - .2600      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .1250 - .2200
