Dry Whey - West U.S.

Released on February 05, 2026

In the West, dry whey prices are unchanged at the bottom and 1 cent higher at 
the top of the range this week. The mostly price series is 1 cent lower at both 
ends. Domestic demand is moderate. Demand from international buyers is 
stronger. Spot load availability remains tight. Sweet whey production schedules 
are not robust, and some traders indicate some sweet whey producers are behind 
on orders for this quarter. With continued strong prices and buyer demand for 
proteins, producers are incentivized to direct liquid whey into whey protein 
concentrates and isolates.

Price Range - Non-Hygroscopic; Dollars per Pound: 0.68 - 0.765
