Dry Whey - Central U.S.

Released on November 13, 2025

In the Central region, the price range for dry whey is unchanged, but prices 
increased across the mostly price series. Stakeholders say spot inventories are 
tight and only a few manufacturers have inventory available to ship in the near 
term. Domestic demand for dry whey is steady, though contacts report interest 
varies somewhat by manufacturer. Contacts report whey protein concentrate 80% 
and whey protein isolate markets are bullish, and demand continues to outpace 
production. Plant managers say they continue to focus production schedules on 
these products, limiting dry whey output. The market for animal feed whey 
remains quiet and contacts report steady prices from last week. Animal feed 
whey production is light, and contacts say lower prices for other feed options 
are having a negative impact on demand.
