The new pdf report can be accessed on the AMS website at: https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/ams_1041.pdf Skim milk powder (SMP) prices did not change this report week. Importers are still taking in loads at a pretty strong clip from Argentina and Uruguay. Brazilian customers continue to work somewhat steadily with Argentina and Chile. Uruguayan traders have shifted their aim toward the East, as African and Middle Eastern buyers are noted as earnestly involved with Uruguay. Drying time is limited for condensed skim milk. The focus of dryer time, in the region, is generally slotted for drying whole milk powder. SMP stores are not tight, though, but more in balance according to contacts.
