DAIRY MARKET NEWS WEEK OF AUGUST 20-24, 2018

DAIRY MARKET NEWS WEEK OF AUGUST 20-24, 2018 VOLUME 85, REPORT 34 DAIRY MARKET NEWS AT A GLANCE CME GROUP CASH MARKETS (8/24) BUTTER: Grade AA closed at $2.2600. The weekly average for Grade AA is $2.2490 (-.0990). CHEESE: Barrels closed at $1.6000 and 40# blocks at $1.6700. The weekly average for barrels is $1.5905 (-.0770) and blocks, $1.6370 (-.0200). NONFAT DRY MILK: Grade A closed at $.8700. The weekly average for Grade A is $.8715 (+.0390). DRY WHEY: Extra grade dry whey closed at $.4800. The weekly average for dry whey is $.4590 (+.0145). BUTTER HIGHLIGHTS: Butter production is increasing as cream supplies are becoming more approachable throughout the country. Milk butterfat is steadily increasing, while Class II is requesting less cream. In addition, the active milk standardization from bottlers (Class I) is adding cream to Class IV. The market tone for butter looks to be in better shape compared to a few weeks ago. In general, bulk/print butter demand are fair/good from several market channels, especially retail and food service. Butter inventories remain readily available to meet most contractual and spot needs. Based on the CME Group, with various periods and averages used, this week, bulk butter pricing varies among regions: East, 4.0 cents to 7.0 cents above the market; Central, 0.0 cents to 7.0 cents above the market; West, 2.0 cents below to 7.5 cents above the market. The CME Group cash price for Grade AA butter is $2.2600, down $0.0450 compared to last Friday s price, $2.3050. CHEESE HIGHLIGHTS: Nationally, cheese production is steady to strengthening. Cheddar and provolone makers in the Northeast are maintaining production levels, while Midwestern specialty cheese and cheddar producers are beginning to increase activity in preparation for fall/winter holiday orders. Milk availability into cheese production remains sufficient, although cheesemakers access to milk is continuing its seasonal downward drift with schools taking on more bottled milk and warm/wet weather affecting farm milk output. Barrel demand reports on the West are higher than those of blocks. General cheese demand in the Midwest is strengthening, as some recently slower selling seasonal varieties are seeing some upticks. Midwestern spot milk prices were unchanged, although fewer spot milk offers were reported. Overall, cheese market tones are somewhat bullish, as producers report being satisfied with the current CME block/barrel situation. The CME Group closing price for barrels is $1.6000, compared to last Friday s closing price of $1.6700. The closing price for blocks is $1.6700, compared to last Friday s closing price of $1.6550. FLUID MILK: Farm milk production varies across the nation, mainly driven by seasonal climate conditions. For example, milk intakes are lower in the East due to heavy rains. On the other hand, milk outputs are up throughout the Pacific Northwest and mountain states. Meanwhile, in California, milk production has increased more than expected, while in Arizona and New Mexico it has plateaued. Nevertheless, nationwide, milk/cream volumes are more than adequate to meet most processing needs. In general, milk requests from bottlers are inching up as most schools are reopening soon. Meanwhile, the market tone for condensed skim milk is stable, with good demands from NDM/SMP processors. With less demand for butterfat, especially from Class II, cream is becoming more accessible in the spot market. Therefore, customers are paying lower premiums for cream compared to the previous week. Cream Multiples for all Classes range 1.20-1.35 in the East; 1.23-1.34 in the Midwest; and 1.10-1.30 in the West. DRY PRODUCTS: Nationwide, the low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) market seems to be firming as spot prices are up, while supply appears to be below buyers demands. s for high heat are mixed, but the market is generally stable. Dry buttermilk spot values are steady in the Central/East regions, but mostly higher in the West. Dry buttermilk output is driven by butter production schedules throughout the country. Stocks are steady to lower. Dry whole milk powder spot prices are steady, in line with is stable market tone. Dry whey values remain firm in all regions as cheese output has been less active due to the strong milk pulls from bottlers. Demand for dry whey remains strong. This week, there are not major changes on the WPC34% market, while prices remain unchanged. Meanwhile, spot prices for lactose are steady on a relatively balanced market. Casein prices are steady, while sales activity has been very light. ORGANIC DAIRY MARKET NEWS: AMS reports total organic milk products sales for June were 202 million pounds, down 3.1 percent from June 2017 and down 0.4 percent January-June 2018, compared with the same period of 2017.

A Class I differential for each order's principle pricing point (county) is added to the base price to determine the Class I. The advanced Class IV skim milk pricing factor is $5.73. Thus, the Class II skim milk price for September 2018 is $6.43 per cwt, and the Class II nonfat solids price is $0.7144. RETAIL PRICES FOR CONVENTIONAL AND ORGANIC MILK, AUGUST 2018 (FMMO): A survey of retail prices conducted by the Federal Milk Order administrators found conventional whole milk prices for August 2018 averaged $3.26 per gallon.

Five days of trading information can be found at www.cmegroup.com/trading/agricultural/spot-call-data.html BUTTER MARKETS NORTHEAST Butter production is at seasonal levels. At the same time, lower milk yields and cream prices that prompt sales above churning still limit overall production rates in the Northeast. To satisfy rather steady market demand, some butter plants are meeting customers' needs while fusing light churning and micro-fixing activities. Butter stocks are sufficient for the near term. Labor Day needs are tracking to pick up and buyers are searching the market for Q4 butter acquisitions. This week, the bulk butter prices for domestic sales remain at 4-7 cents over the CME Group, with various time frames and averages used. At the CME, Tuesday, Grade AA bulk butter ended the day at $2.2375, down 15 cents from last Tuesday. In context with this distinction, the CME AA cash butter market, weekly average price, is well below a year ago. s for: Eastern U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Grade AA, Conventional, and Edible Butter Bulk Basis Pricing - 80% Butterfat $/LB: +0.0400 - +0.0700 CENTRAL s for: Central U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Grade AA, Conventional, and Edible Butter Bulk Basis Pricing - 80% Butterfat $/LB: 0.0000 - +0.0700 WEST Western butter market has been showing a weaker price trend in recent days. The butter spot market appears to be taking a break as purchasers try to figure out the direction of the market. Buyers seem to have their needs satisfied for the current term. Most contractual loads are moving as planned. Butter output is steady to slightly increasing because cream stocks are loosening more. Butter churn managers continue to sell some excess cream to take advantage of higher cream multiples. Some market participants foresee that cream will become more available as weeks elapse; therefore, more butter is likely to be produced. At the moment, butter stocks are adequate to meet current industry needs. s for: Western U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Grade AA, Conventional, and Edible Butter Bulk Basis Pricing - 80% Butterfat $/LB: -0.0200 - +0.0750 Churn activity is increasing this week in the Midwest, while some south- Central butter plants are holding off for the time being. There are some scheduled plant updates in the upper Midwest next week, which may affect cream prices regionally. Cream prices have become more approachable for butter producers since their peak. Cream rates are in a fairly sharp downturn, as school bottling has put more milkfat back on the market. Retail sales remain healthy according to contacts, while bulk butter is reportedly widely available. The butter market tone is steady. CME prices have slipped since late July and earlier this month, but butter contacts feel the market is generally healthy. Secondary Sourced Information: NATIONAL DAIRY PRODUCTS SALES REPORT U.S. AVERAGES AND TOTAL POUNDS The Grade AA butter price at the CME Group on Wednesday closed at $2.2500, compared to the weekly average price of $2.3480 from last week.

DAIRY MARKET NEWS, AUGUST 20-24, 2018-3- VOLUME 86, REPORT 34 NORTHEAST CHEESE MARKETS WEST Milk production in the Northeast is level to lower as the warm and rainy weather impacts cow comfort. Northeast cheese plants are receiving steady milk loads this week for full cheese production. There are reports of increased Class I sales in the Northeast as bottlers are filling pipelines for the new school year. Cheddar and provolone cheese production is steady. Mozzarella cheese production has increased as the demand from schools is higher. Cheese inventories are fairly stable as restaurants orders are solid. Spot trading activity is steady to higher as cheese barrel prices increased on the spot market. In addition, there are reports of increased domestic demand and improving export cheese sales. Market conditions are fairly firm, as food service demand has picked up and market participants are gearing up for the Labor Day holiday. The wholesale prices for cheddar and Muenster increased $0.0450. In addition, the process cheese price increased $0.1325. The Grade A Swiss price is unchanged this week. WHOLESALE SELLING PRICES: DELIVERED DOLLARS PER POUND(MIXED LOTS (1000-5000 POUNDS)) Cheddar 40 pound Block 2.1100-2.3950 Muenster 2.0950-2.4450 Process American 5 pound Sliced 1.8075-2.2875 Swiss 10-14 pound Cuts 3.1350-3.4575 MIDWEST Demand reports throughout August have been similar. Mozzarella, provolone, and curd orders have been strong or strengthening, while cheddar/specialty producers have seen slowdowns. This week, however, orders are steady to stronger across the board. Pizza cheesemakers are citing new and returning college students as a primary factor in their continued demand upticks, not to mention an overall bump in dining out activity. Some specialty cheesemakers are beginning to ramp up production ahead of the holiday season, but as milk prices are up relative to much of the previous year, some plant managers are reducing production activity when possible. Spot milk prices are unchanged: $.50 under to $2.00 over Class III. Most prices are at the flat Class mark, but a number of cheesemakers are not taking on any extra milk due to the recent price shift. There are expectations that once initial school orders begin to settle, spot milk prices will settle comparably. Cheese market tones are mostly bullish. CME barrel prices saw a noticeable price correction downward Tuesday, ending up below block prices. That said, this is generally viewed as a more comfortable price arrangement by industry contacts than the inverse.

Cheese sales appear mixed with some buyers reporting steady orders while others say that requests are seasonally up. Barrel cheese demand seems to be more active than block cheese. Cheese orders from the food service sector have somewhat augmented as pizza processing is taking more cheese than usual. Stocks remain profuse for many varieties of cheese. Cheese marketers continue to report that U.S. cheese is facing strong competition in international markets. Nonetheless, industry players are hopeful that new sale opportunities both in the international and domestic markets will become available and help keep inventories at check. Overall, the market for western cheese is unsettled and prices vary from week to week.

DAIRY MARKET NEWS, AUGUST 20-24, 2018-4- VOLUME 85, REPORT 34 FLUID MILK AND CREAM EAST Milk production in the Northeast is level to lower as the humid and rainy weather is taking ahold of cow comfort. Class I sales are steady to higher as bottlers are pulling milk to fill schools needs before the new school year. Milk clearing into Class III production is fairly level this week. Class II milk sales were down slightly as some manufacturers production schedules are lower. Mid-Atlantic milk production is fairly lower. Some manufacturers are receiving enough milk volumes for production needs. However, some operations are not receiving enough milk for full production as Class I is taking the majority for schools pipelines. Southeast milk off the farms is still dropping. Bottlers are receiving heavy milk loads for schools needs. In addition, some manufacturers purchased extra milk loads from other regions to fill current needs. However, lower transportation availability has affected Class I receiving additional milk loads from other regions. Florida s milk production is leveling off as the hot temperatures and heavy rainfall affect cow comfort. Class I sales are higher as schools have been filling pipelines. However, there have been some milk loads cut from orders as customers ordered more than needed. Cream multiples range 1.20-1.35 this week, as cream has become more available and heavy milk loads are clearing into Class I. The demand for cream is steady to lower as some buyers are not sourcing for cream loads as their needs are currently met. Condensed skim market conditions are fairly steady, as market participants report spot trades are happening at class prices and seeing fewer discounts being offered. Northeastern U.S., F.O.B. Condensed Skim - Class II; $/LB Solids: 0.65-0.88 - Class III; $/LB Solids: 0.60-0.85 Northeastern U.S., F.O.B. Cream Multiples - All Classes: 1.2000-1.3500 - Class II; $/LB Butterfat: 2.8176-3.1698 Secondary Sourced Information: MILK PRODUCTION: According to NASS, milk production in the 23 major states during July 2018 totaled 17.3 billion pounds, up 0.4 percent from one year ago. Eastern states monthly milk production and percent changes compared to a year ago are as follows: July 2018 Milk Production, (USDA-NASS) (Million Lb.) % Change From 1 Year Ago Florida 192-5.9 New York 1,284 + 0.6 Pennsylvania 902-0.7 Vermont 225-3.0 Virginia 133-5.0 MIDWEST Fluid milk supply reports vary from tight to balanced in the upper Midwest. Bottling facility intake increases, primarily due to schools, are creating a ripple effect on intake facilities outside of bottling and on the cream market. Cheesemakers are reporting similar spot prices to last week. However, the amount of offers are reportedly diminishing compared to recent weeks, and some cheesemakers are not interested in spot milk at over-class prices. Cream, on the other hand, has seen a sharp decline in prices with increasing availability. Butter churns are busier in the Midwest, as cream is back and more reasonable for churn use. On the other hand, ice cream production is nearing its expected climax ahead of Labor Day. Midwestern corn is expected to start being cut for silage in the next few weeks in the upper-midwest, although wet weather may be an issue for farmers as it is expected to continue. The DMN National Retail Report-Dairy for August 17-23 noted the national weighted average advertised price for one gallon of milk was $2.64, down 69 cents from last week, but up 40 cents from a year ago. The weighted average regional prices in the Midwest and South Central were $2.50 and $2.62, respectively. Midwestern U.S., F.O.B. Cream Multiples - All Classes: 1.2300-1.3400 - Class II; $/LB Butterfat: 2.9820-3.1463 Multiples - Class II: 1.2700-1.3400 Secondary Sourced Information: The NASS Milk Production report noted July 2018 milk production in the 23 selected states was 17.3 billion pounds, 0.4 percent above a year ago. Milk cows in the 23 selected states totaled 8.7 million head, 1,000 head more than a year ago. The following table shows Central states included in the report and the monthly milk production changes compared to a year ago: July 2018 Milk Production, (USDA-NASS) (Million Lb.) % Change From 1 Year Ago Illinois 156-0.6 Indiana 350 --- Iowa 443 + 1.8 Kansas 312 + 7.6 Michigan 954-0.9 Minnesota 838-0.2 Ohio 468-0.2 South Dakota 233 + 3.6 Texas 1,100 + 7.3 Wisconsin 2,618 + 1.2 WEST Milk production in California has increased more than expected in recent weeks. Although educational institutions continue to pull in more loads of milk, milk supplies are sufficient for the usages of all market participants. Processing capacities are adequate, and manufacturing plants are running somewhat below full capacity. Although milk components are still low, they have improved from a few weeks ago. Milk production in Arizona is steady this week. Supplies of milk, though available, haven t been moving much to outof-state plants due to hauling/trucking accessibility. Milk flows to educational institutions have stabilized now. Current milk volumes are in line with the needs of the industry. Milk output in the state of New Mexico has flattened. Intakes from bottling plants increased significantly throughout the week. Handlers are actively working on finding the adequate hauling capacity to ensure full coverages of all the milk requests. Class II sales tumbled by a few loads as ice cream manufacturers reduce their orders. In the Pacific Northwest, milk yield is in line with seasonal processing norms. It continues to be solid, but manufacturers don t have any issues managing the volume of milk available to them. Schools demand for milk has augmented in the past two weeks as they fill their pipelines. Overall, milk supplies are in good balance with sales. In the mountain states of Idaho, Utah, and Colorado, milk supplies persist on being long. However, handling is not a major issue at the moment because more milk is going to Class I and II manufacturing needs. Some discounted loads continue to channel through the spot market. All in all, milk production is steady compared to a week ago. Western condensed skim output is flat and matches current wants. Processors report an -CONTINUED ON PAGE 4A-

This could be because ice cream makers are not taking as much volumes of condensed skim compared to a few weeks ago. Cream sales have tumbled in the West. Class II users have reduced their consumptions. Hence, cream multiples also declined. This week, they range 1.10-1.30. Secondary Sourced Information: The NASS Milk Production report noted July 2018 milk production in the 23 selected states was 17.3 billion pounds, 0.4 percent above a year ago.

DAIRY MARKET NEWS, AUGUST 20-24, 2018-5- VOLUME 85, REPORT 34 NONFAT DRY MILK, BUTTERMILK & WHOLE MILK s represent carlot/trucklot quantities for domestic and export sales packaged in 25 kg. or 50 lb. bags, or totes, spray process, dollars per pound. NONFAT DRY MILK - CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL: s increased on a busy trading week for low/ medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM). Contacts point out that domestic low/medium heat NDM is a value when compared to global skim milk powder prices, and a heavier amount of shipments have headed into Mexico recently. Although spot trades have not reached this level, there are $.90 offers being reported. That said, some buyers are hesitant regarding the upward price shifts. They suggest the market uptick could be short-lived as production rates are steady, if only slightly lower. Currently, however, market sentiment is bullish. High heat NDM prices increased on the bottom of the range on a fairly light trading week. High heat NDM production activity is on the rise ahead of baking season, but most high heat NDM transactions are contract based. EAST: Low/medium heat nonfat dry milk f.o.b. spot prices adjusted higher based on active cash trading and index pricing. An unexpected increase in demand from a foreign buyer, Mexico, heightened interest in the domestic marketplace as well, driving the current price jump. Some sources see the current gain as a short run event, unable to sustain over the longer period. NDM dryer schedules are still active, but runs are well below capacity at some plants, as milk clearing into the South meets challenges due to the level of trucker availability. High heat NDM prices extended through the range on light f.o.b. spot trading. Some manufacturers have adjusted their dryer schedules to accommodate high heat NDM production. Wednesday at the CME Group Grade A NDM closed at $0.8750, increasing $0.0550 compared to the previous week. s for: Eastern and Central U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Extra Grade & Grade A, Conventional, and Edible Nonfat Dry Milk - Low & Medium Heat; $/LB:.8125 -.8800 Mostly - Low & Medium Heat; $/LB:.8200 -.8600 s for: Eastern and Central U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Extra Grade & Grade A, Conventional, and Edible Nonfat Dry Milk - High Heat; $/LB: 1.0000-1.0500 NONFAT DRY MILK - WEST Compared to the previous week, the market tone for low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) in the West region seems to be firming as free on board (f.o.b.) spot prices inch up. As reported by some NDM processors, the market is strengthening due to seasonally lower farm milk production and stable interest from customers. In other words, the current NDM availability is below the existing steady demand from buyers/end users. A good part of NDM supplies is committed thru future contracts for the rest of the year and the first quarter of 2019. Having said this, trading activity in the cash market is light to moderate as NDM supplies are becoming tight. Meanwhile, requests from Mexico are strong as farm milk output is down in that country, while most schools are filling pipelines. Back to the U.S., the domestic interest from the bakery industry is good as the fall/winter baking season approaches. Drying schedules for condensed skim milk are considerably lower compared to the past spring flush season. Meanwhile, spot prices for high heat NDM are mixed with no major changes on the market from the previous week. Production is irregular, mostly dictated by contractual needs. However, buyers are having no difficulties finding some loads in the spot market. s for: Western U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Extra Grade & Grade A, Conventional, and Edible Nonfat Dry Milk - Low & Medium Heat; $/LB:.7850 -.8925 Mostly - Low & Medium Heat; $/LB:.8300 -.8700 s for: Western U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Extra Grade & Grade A, Conventional, and Edible Nonfat Dry Milk - High Heat; $/LB: 1.0000-1.0675 CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURING PLANTS - NONFAT DRY MILK WEEK ENDING PRICE TOTAL SALES August 17 $.7858 9,375,977 August 10 $.7875 10,624,349 s are weighted averages for Extra Grade and Grade A Nonfat Dry Milk, f.o.b. California manufacturing plants. s for both periods were influenced by effects of long-term contract sales. Compiled by Dairy Marketing Branch, California Department of Food and Agriculture. DRY BUTTERMILK CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL: Buttermilk powder prices in the Central region are unchanged on a slow trading week. As churns increase in activity with lower cream prices recently, some contacts suggest supplies will come up and possibly dampen upward price movements. That said, buttermilk powder availability is limited right now, and baking season ahead means increasing demand. Some producers have suggested although current loads are contractually obligated, when they have spot loads available, they will expect prices over the current range. The buttermilk market tone is quiet. EAST: Previous week's dry buttermilk prices held steady on infrequent f.o.b. spot market trading. Availability is the actual problem, with producers' offerings presently little to none in the cash market. Dry buttermilk production varies at butter/powder plants, subject to the level of churning taking place. Cream supplies are steadily increasing in regional markets. Manufacturers are clearing dry buttermilk shipments only to regular customers. Demand at current prices is mostly light. s for: Eastern and Central U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Conventional, and Edible Buttermilk ; $/LB:.7800 -.8200 DRY BUTTERMILK WEST Dry buttermilk prices in the West region are mostly higher, shadowing low/medium heat NDM upward pricing trends. The market is steadily firming as demands from bakers and dry mix blenders continue improving ahead of the upcoming baking season. In terms of production, drying schedules for condensed buttermilk are irregular as ice cream makers continue pulling volumes. Therefore, dry buttermilk stocks are becoming tight in the spot market, but are in balance to cover contractual needs. s for: Western U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Conventional, and Edible Buttermilk ; $/LB:.7800 -.8650 Mostly - ; $/LB:.8000 -.8500 DRY WHOLE MILK NATIONAL Across the country, dry whole milk f.o.b. prices are steady on light trading. Drying schedules for condensed whole milk are limited as most processors are focusing on the production of NDM/SMP. At this point, the market undertone is steady with no significant changes from last week. The domestic demand for dry whole milk is fair/good and expected to improve soon as the baking season approaches.

DRY WHEY - CENTRAL Dry whey prices shifted up on the bottom of the mostly price series and top of the range. Contacts are confident in the near-term market tone, while spot market activity was quiet on a slow trading week. Supplies are tight, while a number of contacts are suggesting the recent recall in the upper Midwest has reduced availability regionally and has sent up an alert to buyers/end users. Production is steady to up, and some buyers have suggested September offers are showing signs of some potentially increasing near-future availability. Animal feed whey prices remain unchanged, while the spot market was relatively active within the current range. The whey market tone is steady to bullish. s for: Central U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Extra Grade & Grade A, Conventional, and Edible Dry Whey - Animal Feed; $/LB:.2400 -.3200 s for: Central U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Extra Grade & Grade A, Conventional, and Edible Dry Whey - Non-Hygroscopic; $/LB:.2650 -.4600 Mostly - Non-Hygroscopic; $/LB:.3700 -.4300 DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST The Northeast price range moved up on both ends of the series this week, as market participants are purchasing at increased prices. In the region, supplies are overall tight, and some manufacturers are not offering additional spot loads to buyers. Northeastern dairy contacts report sourcing for dry whey in the Midwest. Additionally, some Northeastern buyers are purchasing from resellers in other regions to meet their current needs. Production is fairly stable as Class III manufacturers are receiving adequate milk supplies. Yet, Class I is pulling more milk to fill schools pipelines for the new school year. Dry whey demand is strong as buyers are purchasing regular spot loads with little to no pushback on pricing. The market undertone is firm. s for: Eastern U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Extra Grade & Grade A, Conventional, and Edible Dry Whey - Non-Hygroscopic; $/LB:.3600 -.4400 s for: Western U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Extra Grade & Grade A, Conventional, and Edible Dry Whey - Non-Hygroscopic; $/LB:.3525 -.4600 Mostly - Non-Hygroscopic; $/LB:.3725 -.4400 WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE s for whey protein concentrate 34% are unchanged on the range and the mostly price series. WPC 34% spot market activity was steady, as prices are falling within a fairly wide range due to buyer/ end user need. Some Midwestern contacts are sourcing to buy WPC34% from other regions to secure loads for their current needs. Availability reports point to a general tightness for WPC 34% that can be used for infant formula, while interchangeable supplies are outweighing demand. Production reports are steady to lower. The overall market tone of WPC 34% is quiet this week. s for: Central and Western U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Extra Grade, Conventional, and Edible Whey Protein Concentrate - 34% Protein; $/LB:.7000 -.9800 Mostly - 34% Protein; $/LB:.7300 -.8950 LACTOSE Lactose prices are unchanged for the second consecutive week, as spot trading activity was generally quiet. There is some talk in the industry of additional tariffs in September and how that news will affect the market. However, spot trades are remaining within the current zone. That said, there were multiple reports of Q4 hesitation from Southeast Asian buyers. Producers are maintaining confidence and relay that Q4 prices should hover around or above those of Q3. Feed-grade lactose is moving to domestic destinations at a faster clip out of the Central region, and some contacts suggest edible grade lactose is next, ahead of potential international bears. Overall, the market is uncertain. s for: Central and Western U.S., Spot Sales And Up 3 Month Contracts, F.O.B., Conventional, and Edible Lactose - Non Pharmaceutical; $/LB:.2400 -.3900 Mostly - Non Pharmaceutical; $/LB:.2900 -.3600 DRY WHEY - WEST In the West, f.o.b. prices for dry whey inched up at the top of the range, but remained steady anywhere else. According to some market participants, the whey market is somewhat tight worldwide, compelling some buyers to settle for higher prices in order to fulfill their immediate needs. Domestic and international requests are both solid. Sellers say that they are receiving a lot of inquiries for dry whey in the spot market. Some of those requests cannot be promptly met due to limited spot load accessibility. The baking sector orders are also picking up. Some purchasers/end-users are looking to lock in Q4 2018 and Q1 2019 contracts to safeguard dry whey coverages for future usages. Western dry whey production remains flat in accordance with current cheese production. The market tone seems strong; however, market participants are still pondering whether the effects of the tariffs will show at any point. CASEIN Acid casein prices are steady. The lower end of the rennet casein price range is slightly weaker, but steady on the top. Volumes of current sales activity are very low, reflecting low seasonal production. Buyers are still motivated to work toward finalizing contracts through this year to lock in supplies. s for: Spot Sales And Up 3 Month Contracts, Free on Board - Warehouse, Non-Restricted, All Mesh Sizes, Conventional, and Edible Casein Acid; - $/LB: 2.9900-3.1000 Rennet; - $/LB: 2.3150-2.5000 -CONTINUE ON PAGE 6A-
