Released on January 15, 2026

Prices for low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) are higher across the range 
and mostly price series in the Central and East regions. Spot purchasers say 
inventories are tight. Domestic demand is steady, interest from purchasers in 
Mexico remains strong. Some contacts say they are receiving requests from 
purchasers in Mexico willing to pay prices above the top of the price range, 
but they are having difficulty fulfilling this demand due to tight inventories. 
Plant managers say condensed skim milk is available, allowing them to run busy 
production schedules. High heat NDM prices are higher in the Central and East 
regions this week. High heat NDM production is limited. Contacts report most 
manufacturers are focused on low/medium heat NDM and only producing high heat 
to meet contractual obligations. Spot inventories are tight. Demand for high 
heat NDM is steady to stronger, but some stakeholders say purchasers are 
hesitant to pay prices near the top of the range for loads.
