Prices for lactose moved slightly lower this week. Industry contacts report 
generally long inventories. However, some manufacturers say their lactose 
production is contracted out for the rest of the year. Most producers suggest 
they are actively making lactose to fulfill contracts. A few producers report 
they have reduced production due to lower prices and limited demand.

Including spot sales and up to 3 month contracts.
