DRY WHEY - WEST   

Western whey prices moved lower on the range and mostly price series. Last 
week's low offers became some of this week's sales. A few processors are 
offering whey to end users and traders at discounted prices. Some 
international markets are currently stronger than domestic markets. A 
number of industry contacts report that sales into the Southeast Asian 
market are stable. In some cases, the prices are higher than domestic 
prices. However, Canadian whey prices are presently lower than U.S. whey 
prices. As a result, Mexican buyers are more inclined to buy from Canada. 
Production rates are unchanged and inventories remain tight to 
comfortable. The market tone is unsettled.
