MD DA710 Dry Whole Milk - National                               

MADISON, WI.  September 22, 2016 (REPORT 38)                     

DRY WHOLE MILK - NATIONAL                                        
                                                                 
National dry whole milk prices are steady to higher. The top of 
the pricing range shifted up due to some spot sales of dry whole 
milk with milkfat levels above the minimum required by the USDA 
standards. The usage of dry whole milk to process cocoa mix is 
active. The market undertone is slightly firmer in the East, but 
mixed in the West and Central regions. Dry whole milk production 
is irregular, mostly dictated by contractual needs. Some 
processors expect to increase production, as the fall baking 
season approaches. Inventories are tight. Some resellers are 
importing dry whole milk from out of the country in order to 
cover current buyers' needs.
