MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  June 22, 2017 (REPORT 25)                          

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Although Western whey prices are unchanged, industry contacts describe the 
market tone for whey as weakening. Domestic demand is marginal and export 
demand weaker still. A few contacts suggest prices for offered loads need to 
be at the bottom end of the range or mostly prices series, or even lower, to 
move much volume. Buyers seem to have limited interest outside of regular 
contract purchases. Market participants say whey is currently harder to move, 
especially into international markets. Production is heavy and adding to 
already large inventories.
