Prices for skim milk powder have declined as demand has slowed with many buyers having covered their Q2 needs. The EU market is in transition as many buyers are taking a wait and see approach to future purchases with negotiations ongoing for Q3 contracts. Production remains strong with most dryers operating at capacity. Production schedules in Western Europe are focused on filling Q2 orders and limited spot sales. Market activity is currently more focused on bulk domestic transactions, while export traders take a breather from the hectic pace of export sales early in the year. Eastern EU producers, especially Poland, have supplies of skim milk powder more readily available.
