     Dry Whey - Eastern U.S.

     Report 47 - Released on November 22, 2022

     In the East, the price range for dry whey shifted lower on both ends this week. Stakeholders
     say spot trading has been limited ahead of Thanksgiving. Domestic demand for dry whey, while
     subdued this week, is steady. Dry whey loads are available for spot purchasing. Some
     contacts note strong demand for specific brands of dry whey and say these loads are
     difficult to find on the spot market. Export demand for dry whey is unchanged. Cheesemakers
     are running active production schedules, and condensed whey is available for drying. Plant
     managers say they are utilizing this to run busy production schedules, though some say they
     are operating reduced schedules due to labor and supply chain shortages.

     Edible Dry Whey
