MD DA560 Dry Whey - Northeast                                        

MADISON, WI.  February 02, 2017 (REPORT 5)                           

DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 
                                                             
Prices for Northeast dry whey are significantly higher at the top of the 
range on f.o.b. spot sales. Buyers note some distinctive brands are hard 
to find, in the spot market, and typically carry a higher premium. Whey 
streams are circumventing into higher proteins, as improved returns 
shift production away from dry whey. Strong domestic demand is holding, 
accompanied by increased interest from export markets. Inventories are 
steady for producers' near-term contract needs. The undertone is firm.

F.O.B. NORTHEAST:           EXTRA GRADE AND GRADE A:   .4300 - .5650
