Dry Whey - Central U.S.

Released on October 30, 2025

Dry whey prices are mainly unchanged across the range this week, but the mostly 
price series shifted higher. Domestic dry whey demand is steady. Exports to 
Mexico continue to beat some contacts' expectations. Demand from purchasers in 
Asia is light, as domestic dry whey loads are priced higher than loads produced 
in Europe. Dry whey manufacturers have few loads available, and some purchasers 
are paying prices in the high-$0.60s to secure loads from third parties. Whey 
protein concentrate 80% and whey protein isolate markets remain bullish, amid 
strong demand and tight inventories. Manufacturers continue to focus their 
schedules on these products, limiting dry whey production. The market for 
animal feed whey is quiet, and prices are unchanged this week. Animal feed whey 
production is light, but demand is limited, and inventories are tight.
