Dry Whey - West U.S.

Released on August 14, 2025

The price range and mostly price series for dry whey both shifted lower in the 
West this week. Domestic demand for dry whey is steady to lighter. Export dry 
whey interest is light as domestic loads are priced at a premium to dry whey 
produced in other countries. Stakeholders say spot dry whey inventories are 
tight, but declining demand in recent weeks made it easier for purchasers to 
obtain spot loads. Cheesemakers are running busy production schedules, leaving 
plenty of liquid whey available for drying. Contacts say dry whey production is 
steady but remains limited as some manufacturers' schedules are focused on 
higher whey protein concentrates.
