MD_DA105 Dry Whey - Western Europe Report 21 - Released on May 25, 2023 European dry whey prices are unchanged. Contractual obligations for food and feed accounts are pulling steadily at inventories, but spot orders are sporadic. Buyers seem willing to take a spot load here and there within current price levels, but there has not been an appetite for larger volumes. Industry sources suggest export interest is higher than last year, but it still does not surpass 2021 export levels. Whey stocks are readily available for most buyer needs, and there is plenty of liquid whey available for drying.
