Dry Buttermilk - East and Central U.S.

Released on January 29, 2026

Buttermilk powder (BMP) activity is steady in the Central and East regions this 
week. Contacts indicate a healthy spot market with multiple reported sales. 
Many producers are facing the challenge of competing priorities for dryer 
space. Butter churns remain full, providing ample amounts of buttermilk for 
drying. Nonfat dry milk demand and prices continue to rise, leaving less time 
available for drying buttermilk. BMP inventory is healthy, with no producers 
indicating a shortage in supply.
