Dry Whey - West U.S.

Released on April 16, 2026

Both ends of the range and the top end of the mostly price series for dry whey 
prices decreased in the West. The bottom end of the mostly price series is 
unchanged. Demand is steady from domestic and international buyers. 
Stakeholders note demand from customers in Asia is going well. Spot load 
availability is mixed depending on the brand. Dry whey production schedules are 
steady, but whey protein concentrate and isolate production is taking the front 
seat. Manufacturers indicate cheese production is making enough liquid whey for 
sweet whey production to generally meet contractual obligations.
