NONFAT DRY MILK - WEST   

Prices for low/medium heat nonfat dry milk are mostly higher. 
Drying schedules are active throughout the week. Condensed skim 
milk volumes are more available for NDM processing. Inventories 
are mixed. Some processors note a little tightness of NDM 
supplies. On the other hand, some manufacturers indicate 
adequate inventory levels. Spot sales to cheese makers (for 
cheese fortification) are active. In addition, NDM spot sales to 
dry hot chocolate mix manufacturers are increasing as Q4 
approaches. The market tone is firmer. Prices for high heat 
nonfat dry prices are higher in a stronger market. Spot sales to 
the bakery sector are more active. Production is steady to 
improving. Inventories are mostly unchanged.
