EU lactose price finally starts moving upward
Europe
Prices are moving upward
Whether it is because most older lactose stocks have been liquidated by now or because lactose prices follow the SWP and wider dairy market upwards is unclear, but prices took a step up. Lactose is currently traded in a range of EUR 700-800 ex works.
Americas
Manufacturers are comfortable with the current trading range
Despite the occasional rumor about prices above the current price range lactose remains mostly traded at USD 0.30-0.40/lb (660-882/t) ex works. Most manufacturers appear to be comfortable to sell at these prices.
