     Nonfat Dry Milk - Western U.S.

     Report 28 - Released on July 15, 2021

     Low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) prices, in the West, held steady at the top of the
     range and across the mostly price series this week. The bottom of the low/medium heat price
     range moved lower by a few cents. Demand has held steady across both domestic and
     international markets. Contacts report that inventories of low/medium heat NDM are available
     for spot purchasing. Deliveries are facing delays due to a truck driver shortage in the
     region. Port congestion is further delaying loads intended for export. While condensed skim
     milk production has passed its seasonal peak, there is enough availability for drying
     operations to run busy schedules. As condensed skim milk production has begun to slow,
     contacts report more drying time available for high heat NDM. Demand for high heat NDM is
     steady, while inventories remain available for spot purchasing. Prices for high heat NDM are
     unchanged at the top of the range, while falling at the bottom.
