Nonfat Dry Milk - East and Central U.S.

Released on March 19, 2026

In the Central and East regions, low/medium heat nonfat dry milk prices 
increased across the range and mostly price series this week. Tight inventories 
are limiting spot market activity, but contacts say domestic demand is steady. 
Some contacts note steady export interest, while others say purchasers in 
Mexico are actively purchasing spot loads from the southwest. Milk production 
is strong and contacts say other dairy processors continue to pull on condensed 
skim milk supplies. Drying operations are steadily producing low/medium heat 
NDM, but output is down from last year. High heat NDM production is limited as 
drying schedules remain focused on low/medium heat. Prices increased across the 
range for high heat NDM this week. Demand is increasing somewhat and spot 
inventories remain tight.
