DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 
                                                                     
Dry whey prices are unchanged to slightly higher. Contacts report a slow 
week for spot market activity. Stocks are, in general, tight. Production 
is steady. Some Eastern producers report inventories are sold out 
through the first quarter. Traders looking to replenish inventory are 
finding it hard to do. Consequently, resellers are fulfilling some 
buyers' needs. The market undertone remains firm.
DAIRY PRODUCTS:  According to NASS, November 2016 U.S. human food dry 
whey production totaled 71.4 million pounds, 7.5% less than a year ago 
and 12.6% less than the previous month. The Atlantic region's production 
of human food dry whey in November 2016 totaled 21.2 million pounds, 
1.4% more than a year ago and 1.2% more than last month.
