MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  March 16, 2017 (REPORT 11)                         

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               

Central dry whey prices are steady on both the range and the mostly price 
series. Midwestern dry whey demand is increasing domestically. Export 
interest reports are mixed. Some cheese producers in the Midwest continue to 
see Southeast Asian interest. However, other contacts report a slight 
decline in requests as China's inventories are currently comfortable. With 
some pushback on prices for higher protein concentrations, dry whey 
production has increased. Reported spot market activity was fairly active, 
and contractual obligations remain steady. Inventory reports range from 
tight to adequate. Animal feed whey prices also remained steady. The feed 
grade spot market was relatively quiet. Feed whey end users report being 
adequately stocked, and contacts expect a near term tightness in feed whey. 
                                                                 
F.O.B. CENTRAL:    .4325 - .5550   MOSTLY:    .4600 - .5100      
F.O.B. CENTRAL: ANIMAL FEED MILK REPLACER:    .3375 - .4800
