Nonfat Dry Milk - East and Central U.S.

Released on July 09, 2026

Central and East region low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) prices declined 
at the bottom of the range but increased at the top. Both ends of the mostly 
price series moved lower this week. Inventories are tight in most of the 
Central and East regions, and some manufacturers in the East say they are 
moving loads at premium prices due to their limited availability. Contacts say 
some spot loads are available in the Southwest and inventories are more 
plentiful in the West. Domestic demand remains light and contacts say 
international purchasers continue to favor lower priced skim milk powder 
available from other countries. Some stakeholders say interest from buyers in 
Mexico is steady to higher and they anticipate demand to strengthen in the 
coming weeks. Drying operations are running full production schedules, 
following the long holiday weekend. Plant managers are prioritizing low/medium 
heat NDM, which is limiting high heat NDM production. Prices for high heat NDM 
continue to decline, following the market for low/medium heat. Demand for high 
heat NDM is steady, but contacts note that it is very difficult to find spot 
loads in the Central and East regions.
