Dry Whey - Central U.S.

Released on November 20, 2025

In the Central region, the price for dry whey rose on both ends of the range. 
The mostly price series remains unchanged. Spot inventories of dry whey are 
scarce and very few manufacturers have any inventory to ship in the near term. 
Domestic demand for dry whey varies by manufacturer, but for some, demand is 
growing. The high protein whey market is bullish, and demand continues to be 
very heavy. For some producers, focus is shifting from Extra Grade and Grade A 
production to whey protein concentrate 80% (WPC 80%) and whey protein isolate 
(WPI) to capitalize on rising prices. Animal feed whey production is light, and 
lower prices were reported this week.
