Dry Whey - East U.S.

Released on February 19, 2026

Dry whey demand is softening in the East region this week. Contacts note a 
decline in inquiries from buyers, but sales remain steady. Prices for Extra 
Grade and Grade A dropped slightly at both ends of the range with most sales 
positioned close to the National Dairy Products Sales Report (NDPSR) pricing 
for the week. Contacts also indicate an increased demand for products that meet 
specific customer requirements and those items are drawing prices near the top 
of the range. High protein whey derivatives continue to see increased demand 
and many manufacturers continue to prioritize those products over Extra Grade 
and Grade A whey. Inventories are currently balanced.

Prices for: East, All First Sales, F.O.B., Edible Dry Whey
Price Range - Non-Hygroscopic; Dollars per Pound: 0.62 - 0.72
