Dry Whey - Central U.S.

Released on April 09, 2026

Dry whey prices increased at both ends of the range this week. The mostly price 
series increased at the bottom of the range and remained the same at the top of 
the range. Spot loads of whey are more available for non-preferred brands, 
while brands meeting stringent end-user specifications are more difficult to 
procure. Domestic demand is light, while export demand is increasing. 
Manufacturers continue to place priority on high protein whey derivatives, as 
they continue to see strong demand and pricing. Whey for animal feed trading is 
limited and the prices are unchanged this reporting period.
