MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  July 20, 2017 (REPORT 29)                     

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Dry whey prices in the West are lower on the top of the range and 
steady on the mostly price series. The market tone is weak. Demand is 
about the same as last week. Industry contacts state that there is a 
competition in the whey market. Buyers/end-users are trying to delay 
taking their contracted loads as they are hoping for lower prices in 
the future. Some traders report not buying dry whey because of the 
current low profit margin. Supplies are abundant and continue to build 
up. Production remains active, as more cheese is being produced.
