Dry Whey - Central U.S.

Released on August 28, 2025

Prices for dry whey held steady in the Central region this week across both the 
range and mostly price series. Contacts report spot loads of dry whey are 
available for purchasing, though some manufacturers' inventories remain tight. 
Demand varies by manufacturer, but domestic sales are steady week-to-week. 
Export demand is light as US production continues to sell at a premium to dry 
whey produced in other countries. Added production capacity is enabling some 
manufacturers to run increased dry whey production schedules, but plant 
managers say higher whey protein concentrate production is their primary focus, 
keeping dry whey output limited overall. Animal feed whey markets remain quiet 
and prices for animal feed whey held steady this week.
