Again, there is little change in the East's dry whey market. Prices are unchanged and nominal. Production levels are light to moderate and most producers are having a hard time catching up to existing orders. Extra Grade and Grade A stocks are light, often tight. Also, cheese output is lighter due to the tighter supply of surplus milk.
Demand is fair to good, mostly fair.
Few spot sales are being reported. Those loads that are available for spot sale are clearing easily at a premium to the current market price. Traders continue to report a relatively quiet market and some are having difficulty moving extra loads. The animal feed market is sluggish as offerings of off-grade dry whey and WPC are heavy. This is in addition to the Government's sellback of NDM for use as animal feed.
