MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  January 05, 2017 (REPORT 1)                        

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               

Central whey prices moved higher. Some manufacturers note stocks are 
committed and a little tight, while a few others report having whey 
available for immediate shipment. Although some manufacturers say they are 
getting regular inquiries from buyers, other industry contacts describe a 
little lull coming out of the domestic winter holidays. They also suggest 
the upcoming Chinese New Year has slowed demand from Southeast Asia. 
Production is steady. Some domestic end users say they are content with 
their regular contracted supplies and are not looking for additional loads 
of whey right now. Animal feed whey prices moved higher on movements to 
various price indices. The DMN monthly average of the mostly price series 
for Central dry whey during December was $0.3844, compared to $0.3499 last 
month. One year ago, the Central dry whey monthly average was $0.2128. The 
monthly average of the range price series for Central animal feed whey 
during December was $0.3249, compared to $0.2820 a month ago and $0.1636 a 
year ago.
