MD DA560 Dry Whey - Northeast                                        

MADISON, WI.  October 22, 2015 (REPORT 42)                           

DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 

Dry whey prices in the Northeast moved up at the bottom of the range and 
adjusted lower at the top, a result of fob spot prices and changes to 
pricing indices. Dry whey output is equivalent to moderate regional cheese 
production. However, sources are reporting limited dry whey availability 
from some producers' inventories. Demand is fair to good, with active 
trading in the resell market. The market undertone is mixed. 

F.O.B. NORTHEAST:           EXTRA GRADE AND GRADE A:   .2300 - .2600



Dairy Market News Reporting Changes Proposal

Dairy Market News (DMN) is proposing updating the Dairy Market News Working 
Guidelines. This proposal is the result of an industry comment period. The 
updates would allow DMN market reports to additionally include information 
and sales prices reported by individuals and firms functioning as marketing 
agents selling on the behalf of dairy product manufacturers. The Working 
Guidelines updates are intended to capture more information on pricing and 
market conditions and reflect the evolution of the marketing of dairy 
products. Currently, market pricing information is collected for first sale, 
f.o.b. producers' plants or warehouses. The changes would be effective 
starting with Report 1, January 2016.
