Suppliers' quotes
Price quotes of US feed-grade whey were stable to lower in the range of US$397-772/tonne.
In Europe, whey prices slid to EUR622-660/tonne.
After a one week hiatus during early October, whey market resumed trading amid light trade. As piglet population stayed flat while sow numbers remained largely unchanged over the past four years, feed producers were not motivated to stockpile whey inventories.
Market forecast
With piglet feed consumption slack, whey demand is unlikely to improve during Q4. Traders are likely to cut prices to stimulate sales while import costs move lower.
