MADISON, WI.  June 29, 2017 (REPORT 26)                                         

LACTOSE - CENTRAL AND WEST                                                      

Lactose prices moved lower at the bottom of both the range and mostly prices 
series. Although market activity has been relatively quiet over the last few 
weeks, a few spot sales nudged prices lower. Industry contacts say interest 
is somewhat limited outside of contracts and buyers have been slower to 
establish Q3 agreements. However, demand for highly sought after brands has 
remained fairly solid. Lactose production is steady and inventories are 
growing slowly. The market tone for lactose is steady to softer.

Including spot sales and up to 3 month contracts.                               
F.O.B. EDIBLE, NON PHARMACEUTICAL   .2950 - .5500    MOSTLY:   .3400 - .4400
