MD_DA710 Dry Whole Milk - U.S. Report 4 - Released on January 23, 2020 National dry whole milk spot prices are mixed this week. In order to clear some inventories, some processors sold a few dry whole milk loads, from Q2, 2019 production, at discounted prices, which pulled down the low end of the pricing range. However, the market remains on a stable tone, according to most industry participants. This week, spot sales activity is light to moderate, while production is sporadic, mainly driven by contractual pledges. Some processors expect to increase drying schedules ahead of the upcoming baking season needs. Inventories are mostly in balance with most contractual and immediate buyer needs.
