MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  September 28, 2017 (REPORT 39)                     

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Western whey prices are generally steady, but the top of the range edged 
slightly lower this week. Manufacturers describe the market as quiet. 
Buyers are kicking some tires, but sales activity is slow outside of 
contracts. Industry contacts suggest there is currently more sweet whey 
powder being produced as a few manufacturers choose to ease up on making 
isolates and higher whey protein concentrations. Dry whey inventories are 
already plentiful. Some market participants feel there may be greater 
pressure placed on whey supplies, and ultimately prices, in the near 
future.
