Dry Whey - Central U.S.

Released on September 18, 2025

In the Central region, bottom of the dry whey price range and mostly price 
series pushed higher, while prices were unchanged at the top of both. Dry whey 
inventories are tight throughout much of the region, though contacts note some 
manufacturers in the Southwest have available spot loads. Tighter inventories 
contributed to lighter spot trading this week, and some purchasers say current 
prices are enabling them to only secure a minimal number of loads to meet their 
immediate needs. Export demand is light. Dry whey production remains limited as 
plant managers continue to focus on higher whey protein concentrates. Animal 
feed whey prices are unchanged this week. Demand for animal feed whey is light, 
and production is limited.
