MD DA560 Dry Whey - Northeast                                        

MADISON, WI.  July 07, 2016 (REPORT 27)                              

DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 

The Northeast dry whey price range expanded slightly this week. Industry 
contacts say seasonal demand is increasing somewhat as a few ice cream 
producers draw more heavily on whey supplies. Production is active due to 
heavy milk volumes clearing into cheese vats. Inventories are mixed. A few 
manufacturers report committed stocks, while other contacts suggest dry whey 
is readily available. The June 2016 Dairy Market News monthly average for 
Northeast dry whey was $0.2649 compared to $0.4240 one year ago.
DAIRY PRODUCTS: According to NASS, May 2016 U.S. human food dry whey 
production totaled 80.4 million pounds, 3.1% more than a year ago, but 
0.6% less than the previous month. The Atlantic region's production of 
human food dry whey in May 2016 totaled 21.8 million pounds, 2.5% less 
than a year ago and 0.2% less than last month.
