     Dry Whey - Western Europe

     Report 9 - Released on February 28, 2019

     Dry whey prices in Western Europe are slightly weaker at the low end of the price range,
     steady at the top. Demand is steady and continuous. While manufacturers had hoped steady
     demand would further increase prices, prices have been pretty good for a while. The steady
     demand is now keeping prices up, not so much moving them higher.

      The volumes of dry whey being manufactured are ample to readily meet buying demand.
     Inventories held by manufacturers are comfortable.
     Prices for: Western Europe, All First Sales, Free on Board - Port, Conventional, and Edible
     Dry Whey
     Price Range - Non-Hygroscopic; $/MT:                   925 - 1,125


     Information for the period February 18 -  March 1, 2019, issued biweekly

     Secondary Sourced Information:

     EU whey exports during 2018 increased 6.8 percent from 2017 according to CLAL.
