MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  April 13, 2017 (REPORT 15)                         

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                                                 
Central dry whey prices decreased on the bottom of the range and remained 
steady in the mostly price series. Export interest from Asia continues, while 
domestic demand is limited. Dry whey production reports are mixed. Some whey 
producers continue to produce actively, while others are focusing on higher 
protein blends and whey permeate. Spot market offers were heavy this week, 
although transactions were fairly light. Domestic buyers and end users continue 
to wait out current prices and expect the market to see some downward pressure.  
The dry whey market tone is uncertain. Animal feed whey prices decreased on the 
top of the range slightly. The animal feed whey spot market was relatively 
active. Animal feed whey inventories are adequate for end user needs.
