MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  May 26, 2016 (REPORT 21)                           

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Western whey prices are steady to higher. Prices moved up a half cent at 
the top of the range and bottom of the mostly price series. The market 
tone, however, is mixed. While some buyers are willing to pay a little 
more for select brands of whey, other buyers are hesitant. A few industry 
contacts say there is plenty of whey available at lower prices, but they 
are only interested in receiving regular contract shipments. End users 
want to lower their stocks before buying more whey. A few manufacturers 
have been able to ease inventories slightly through large export sales, 
but domestic demand is generally weak. Dry whey production is active and 
steady.
