MD DA640 Nonfat Dry Milk - West

NONFAT DRY MILK - WEST                                           

Prices for low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) are mixed. The 
strong demand for bottled milk is pulling away moderate manufacturing 
milk volumes from dryers. As a result, NDM production is slightly 
lower, compared to the previous week. Inventories are mixed. Some 
processors note a little tightness of NDM inventories. On the other 
hand, some industry participants note adequate to heavy supplies 
levels. Spot sales for cheese fortification are active. The market 
undertone is unsettled. Prices for high heat nonfat dry prices are 
unchanged. Spot sales to the bakery sector are less active. Some 
manufacturers are producing more actively to replenish inventories 
ahead of filling orders for contract based customers.
