MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  July 14, 2016 (REPORT 28)                          

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Western whey prices moved higher again this week. Domestic demand is 
decent and export markets are requesting a little more. Industry contacts 
continue to consider the Southeast Asian pork industry's purchase of more 
whey and whey permeate for feed as a significant lift to whey market 
prices. However, it is unclear at this time whether recent flooding in 
Southeast Asia and the resulting damage to pig farms may slow the upward 
price movement. Dry whey inventories are mixed. A few manufacturers have 
been able to clear stocks through domestic and export channels, but some 
say dry whey is readily available. Western whey production is steady.
