Dry Whey - East U.S.

Released on June 04, 2026

Dry whey production in the East region remains steady, with prices remaining 
within a consistent range. NDPSR data shows a 26.8 percent decline in total 
sales, reflecting the impact of the Memorial Day holiday. The weighted-average 
price increased 0.05 cents to 64.24 cents for the week ending May 30. This 
remains below the CME Spot Call weekly average of 69.13 cents for the same 
week. Producers continue to prioritize production of whey protein concentrates 
and whey protein isolate, which command premium values over Extra Grade and 
Grade A. Export interest from Europe and Asia is steady, supported by U.S. 
price competitiveness. According to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, Whey 
Protein Concentrate 80 percent is the fastest-growing whey derivative in global 
trade, with Asia, particularly China-representing the largest growth market.
