Dry Whey - Central U.S.

Released on November 06, 2025

Prices for dry whey increased across the range and mostly price series in the 
Central region this week. Spot trading is light, as inventories are generally 
tight in the region. A few manufacturers say some inventory is available, while 
many report having limited or no spot loads available to ship in the near term. 
Demand for dry whey is steady in domestic markets, but export interest is 
light. Dry whey production is limited, as plant managers remain focused on 
higher whey protein concentrates. Production of whey protein concentrate 80% 
and whey protein isolate is strong, but contacts say demand continues to 
outpace production, keeping inventories of these products tight. Animal feed 
whey prices are unchanged this week. Demand remains light and production is 
limited.
