DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

The western dry whey market continues to show weakness. Prices moved 
down again this week. Inventories of dry whey are building. Demand has 
generally been light, however contacts suggest regular customers and 
some inquiries for export are providing outlets for product. 
Production has been steady depending on the strategy used by the 
manufacturer to capture protein. In some cases, manufacturers report 
shifting production from protein concentrates to dry whey. While 
others note specific market opportunities for higher protein content 
products may pull whey into other processing channels.
