Dry Whey - Central U.S.

Released on July 24, 2025

The bottom of the Central region dry whey price range moved higher this week, 
while the top was unchanged. Both ends of the mostly price series shifted down 
by 1 cent. Contacts report strong domestic demand for dry whey, but some note 
spot purchasers are showing some hesitance with current market prices. 
International dry whey interest is light as domestic prices remain higher than 
loads produced in other markets. Liquid whey is available for drying, but plant 
managers remain focused on higher whey protein concentrates and whey protein 
isolate, limiting dry whey production. Dry whey inventories are tight, and some 
plant managers say they anticipate having limited spot availability through 
August. Prices for animal feed whey were unchanged this week. Contacts report 
light demand for animal feed whey, but say inventories remain tight amid light 
production.
