Prices for buttermilk powder (BMP) increased at both ends of the range this 
week. Demand for BMP remains strong and many buyers are having difficulty 
finding volumes on the spot market. Butter churns continue to operate at or 
near capacity providing plenty of buttermilk for drying. Nonfat dry milk

BMP production is focused on contractual requirements leaving little available 
for the spot market. BMP inventories are tight.
