The top of the price range held steady, while the bottom moved lower. Meanwhile, the mostly price series held steady at the bottom, while shifting lower at the top. Demand for low/medium heat NDM is steady across both domestic and international markets, with contacts reporting notable demand for exports to Mexico. Warehouse inventories are building, in the region, as loads continue to face delays due to a shortage of truck drivers and limited available shipping supplies. Low/medium heat NDM is available for spot purchasing. Dryers are running busy schedules to work through available supplies of condensed skim milk. High heat NDM production is limited, with plant managers favoring the shorter drying times of low/medium heat NDM. The price range for high heat NDM is unchanged this week. Inventories of high heat are limited, but available to meet steady demand.
