Nonfat Dry Milk - East and Central U.S.

Released on July 16, 2026

Prices for low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) declined across the range this 
week. The bottom of the mostly price series held steady, while the top pushed 
higher. Spot inventories remain snug, though some contacts say they are getting 
additional offers from the Central and East regions this week. These offers are 
priced at a premium compared to loads in the West where inventories are more 
available. Demand is unchanged in domestic markets. Export interest remains 
light, but some contacts say they are hearing more from buyers in Mexico 
looking for spot loads this week. Some drying operations are obtaining 
additional spot loads of condensed skim milk this week, due to downtime at some 
regional processing plants. Despite this, declining milk output is causing some 
plant managers to run lighter drying schedules. Drying operations continue to 
focus production on low/medium heat NDM, keeping high heat production limited. 
Prices for high heat NDM declined across the range. Contacts say prices are 
trending downwards in line with low/medium heat, despite strong demand and 
tight inventories.
