MD_DA560 DA MD DA560 Dry Whey - Northeast MADISON, WI. August 11, 2016 (REPORT 32) DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST Prices for Eastern dry whey are steady. Output parallels drops in farm milk output, as increasing demand for fluid milk impacts milk volumes into cheese plants. Contracted volumes of dry whey are steadily moving, but buyers are in no hurry to acquire additional loads at this time. Hence, end user interest is flat with transactions, in general, occurring based on buyers' immediate needs. Stock levels are adequate among manufacturers in the region. The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), reports that June 2016 U.S. dry whey exports totaled 37.3 million pounds, a 2% decline from a year ago. DAIRY PRODUCTS: According to NASS, June 2016 U.S. dry whey production totaled 79.2 million pounds, 7.7% less than a year ago and 3.5% less than the previous month. The Atlantic region's production of human food dry whey in June 2016 totaled 21.5 million pounds, 6.4% less than a year ago, but 0.6% more than last month. F.O.B.
