MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  September 21, 2017 (REPORT 38)                     

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Western whey prices are generally lower, standing still only at the 
top end of the mostly price series. Industry contacts suggest whey 
inventories are heavy and a few manufacturers are eager to move large 
volumes of sweet whey powder before the end of the year. Demand is 
slow in export markets, however favorable currency positions are 
helping U.S. manufacturers gain back some market share. Domestic sales 
are largely sluggish outside of contracts. Dry whey production is 
steady to higher as a few manufacturers opt to make a bit more sweet 
whey powder in lieu of higher whey protein concentrations and 
carbohydrates.
