Butter - East U.S.

Released on June 18, 2025

Butter churns are operating seven days a week in the Northeast. Manufacturers 
are able to keep up with production using only contract loads. The CME prices 
for butter are trending up. The CME weekly average for last week rose slightly 
from the previous week but the daily price closed three cents higher than the 
average. Bulk butter is selling flat at the CME prices. Demand for bulk is 
steady. Retail demand is still strong in the region. International demand for 
butter remains strong. Last week's cold storage report showed a 5% increase in 
butter holdings from the beginning of the month. Some discussions with contacts 
confirm the inventory levels are healthy.
