Nonfat Dry Milk - East and Central U.S.

Released on April 02, 2026

Low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) prices increased in the Central and East 
regions across the range and mostly price series this week. Markets remain 
bullish as inventories remain tight. Spot purchasers say loads are difficult to 
find, and some are securing loads from the West region to meet their immediate 
needs. Domestic demand is steady. Contacts report strong demand from Mexico, 
but high prices have reduced interest from purchasers in other countries. Milk 
output is increasing and plant managers are running busy schedules, but 
production is down year-over-year, due to strong demand for condensed skim milk 
from other dairy processors. Prices for high heat NDM are trending higher this 
week. Demand is steady to stronger and inventories remain tight. Production is 
limited as drying times remain focused on low/medium heat.
