MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  August 04, 2016 (REPORT 31)                        

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Prices for western dry whey are mostly higher this week. A few end 
users are finding specific brands of dry whey to be a little harder to 
find, but dry whey in general is available. Demand from new business 
opportunities is lighter compared to recent weeks. Buyers are making 
sporadic inquiries and are mostly shopping around for deals. 
Production is steady, but some manufacturers are not seeing a big 
incentive to make dry whey instead of whey protein concentrates and 
lactose. The DMN monthly average of the mostly price series for West 
dry whey during July was $0.2787 compared to $0.2649 one month ago and 
$0.3873 a year ago.
