Nonfat Dry Milk - East and Central U.S.

Released on December 18, 2025

In the Central and East regions, prices are lower at the top of the range for 
low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) this week and unchanged at the bottom of 
the range and across the mostly price series. Domestic demand is light, as 
market participants are preparing for the year-end holidays. Contacts say 
exports to Mexico are declining and expected to remain low until January. 
International skim milk powder prices are declining, and stakeholders say this 
is negatively impacting export demand for low/medium heat NDM from purchasers 
in Asia and South America. Production is steady, though some plant managers say 
they have scheduled downtime in the coming week for the holidays. Spot 
inventories remain tight in the East and Midwest, but spot purchasers say they 
are sourcing loads from the Southwest and West to meet their current needs. 
Prices for high heat NDM are unchanged. Stakeholders say high heat production 
is light and inventories are snug, but demand is limited.
