Dry Whey - Central U.S.

Released on July 03, 2025

Dry whey prices increased across the range and at the bottom of the mostly 
price series in the Central region this week, but the top of the mostly price 
series was unchanged. Dry whey inventories are tightening in the region. 
Contacts note loads that meet certain specifications or from specific 
manufacturers are difficult to obtain on the spot market. In recent weeks, some 
spot market participants limited their dry whey purchases as they were waiting 
for new production to come online. These purchasers have reportedly returned to 
the market this week to secure loads to meet their immediate needs. Export 
demand for dry whey remains light. Dry whey production is light as plant 
managers remain focused on higher whey protein concentrates and whey protein 
isolate.
