MD DA530 Dry Whey - Central                                      

MADISON, WI.  April 27, 2017 (REPORT 17)                         

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL
                                              
Central dry whey prices saw a slight increase on the bottom of the range, but 
remained steady on the top of the range and mostly price series. Central dry 
whey contacts reported a relatively quiet week, as spot market activity was 
sporadic. Dry whey production is active. Surplus milk is flowing into cheese 
vats, thus adding to dry whey processing. Domestic demand is light. Many end 
users report being content with current stocks and plan to wait out an expected 
decline in prices. However, some whey sellers report continued, increasing 
interests from global markets. The dry whey market tone is uncertain. Animal 
feed whey prices were steady. The animal feed whey spot market was quiet. 
Animal feed whey inventory reports were mixed, but contacts suggest end users 
are stocked.
