Dry Whey - Central U.S.

Released on September 11, 2025

The top of the Central region dry whey price range held steady, but prices 
increased at the bottom of the range and across the mostly price series. 
Cheesemakers continue to run busy production schedules, leaving plenty of 
liquid whey available for drying, but plant managers say much of this is going 
towards higher whey protein concentrates. Dry whey production remains limited 
overall, though stakeholders say production is trending higher in the region. 
Domestic demand is strengthening, but export interest remains light. Spot 
inventories vary by manufacturer. Some plant managers say dry whey is sold out 
in the near term, while others say they have some loads available.
