MADISON, WI.  September 01, 2016 (REPORT 35)                                    

LACTOSE - CENTRAL AND WEST                                                      

Lactose prices held steady on light spot trading. A number of manufacturers 
report being sold out or having committed inventories. Although lactose is 
moving well through regular contracts, the tight stocks are making it more 
difficult for buyers to source additional lactose. There is steady interest from 
shoppers. A few processors report getting requests from European Union buyers 
who say lactose supplies are short in Europe. Both buyers and sellers are 
already thinking about Q4 contracts. A few offers are being circulated above the 
current price range. Lactose production remains active.

Including spot sales and up to 3 month contracts.                               
F.O.B. EDIBLE, NON PHARMACEUTICAL   .2300 - .3800    MOSTLY:   .2700 - .3500
