     Buttermilk - Western U.S.

     Report 32 - Released on August 11, 2022

     All facets of the dry buttermilk price range and mostly price series slid lower, in the
     West, this week. Domestic demand is steady to lower, as some contacts report limited
     interest from spot traders. International demand for dry buttermilk is unchanged. Dry
     buttermilk inventories are available for spot purchasing. Condensed buttermilk is being
     bought up by ice cream purchasers in the region, limiting availability for drying
     operations. Dry buttermilk production is unchanged from last week, though plant managers say
     labor shortages and delayed deliveries of production supplies are limiting their ability to
     run busier schedules.
