Dry Whey - West U.S.

Released on July 16, 2026

In the West, the bottom of the range is unchanged, while the top end moved 
three cents lower. For the mostly price series, the bottom end moved one cent 
higher, while the top end is unchanged. Demand is steady. No changes in dry 
whey production are reported this week. Manufacturers and traders note whey 
protein concentrate (WPC) 34% spot loads are extremely tight, along with strong 
demand for WPCs. This is keeping sweet whey from being more of a priority for 
some whey commodity manufacturers.
