MD_DA710 DA MD DA710 Dry Whole Milk - National MADISON, WI. May 25, 2017 (REPORT 21) DRY WHOLE MILK - NATIONAL National dry whole milk f.o.b. spot prices remain unchanged and below the international WMP values. These competitive prices could represent an opportunity for domestic processors/brokers to sell outside the country. For some industry contacts, dry whole milk prices are likely to increase in the coming weeks as butterfat values are strengthening. Production rates are stable, but are expected to decline in the short run. Inventories are mostly in balance. Demands from the bakery and confectionary sectors are fair. Exports are active mainly to Colombia, China, and Vietnam. At the GDT Event 188 on May 16, whole milk powder (WMP) prices across all contract periods averaged $1.5023 per pound, up 1.3% from the last event. F.O.B.
