     Buttermilk - Western U.S.

     Report 47 - Released on November 22, 2022

     In the West, the price range for dry buttermilk was unchanged this week. Meanwhile, both
     ends of the mostly price series shifted lower. Contacts say domestic demand for dry
     buttermilk is steady, but below some expectations for this time of year. Export demand for
     dry buttermilk is unchanged. Contacts report dry buttermilk production is outpacing demand,
     and spot purchasers say dry buttermilk loads are available. Dry buttermilk production is
     steady compared to last week, and some plant managers say they are operating below capacity
     due to labor shortages and delayed deliveries of production supplies.
