DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 

Prices for dry whey moved higher with the inclusion of various spot and 
index pricing.  Production is from steady to slightly increasing due to the 
uptick in seasonal cheese production, as milk supplies are readily 
available.  Trading is light, with most orders being fulfilled through 
contracts.  Dry whey inventories are limited.  Domestic demand is increasing 
as baking manufactures gear up for Easter holiday season.  Export demand 
remains steady.  The market is mixed as buyers and sellers adjust to the 
market uncertainties. 
DAIRY PRODUCTS:  According to NASS, total U.S. production of human food dry 
whey in January 2014 totaled 69.0 million pounds, 20.0% lower than last 
year.  In the Atlantic region, January 2014 production of human food dry 
whey totaled 21.4 million pounds, 2.4% more than last year.  January U.S. 
month ending stocks of human food dry whey totaled 54.9 million pounds, 7.7% 
less than last year.
