MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  August 31, 2017 (REPORT 35)                        

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Western whey prices moved lower at the bottom of both the range and mostly 
price series. Whey is moving through current contracts and a few spot sales, 
but market activity is mainly slow. Demand is light outside of contracts, 
especially in international markets. Some manufacturers report shifting more 
liquid whey into sweet whey powder processing as a measure to control the 
production of lactose and higher whey protein concentrations. Industry 
contacts say whey inventories are backing up and expect stocks to rise unless 
demand improves.
