Whey price falling in Russia temporarily stopped
It seems the Russian vendors managed to stop the outlined in the beginning of October tendency of price decline.
Cheese makers, having very good profit from sales of main products (cheeses), decided to not indulge the buyers and began to hold the products. Their attitude became the reason of some price stabilization on the market.
Additionally, Belarusians seldom sell whey powder at the prices below the indicatives, because their stocks are not critical.
As a result the products are basically sold at RUB 65-68/kg in the end of October.
In this situation the import from far abroad became absolutely unfavorable now.
Prices for whey powder do not fall anymore, but operators do not expect their increase the next weeks either.
