Nonfat Dry Milk - East and Central U.S.

Released on April 09, 2026

Low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) prices continue to increase as strong 
demand and tight availability strain the market. The bottom of the range 
dropped slightly this week but the top of the range increased. On the mostly 
price series the bottom of the range stayed the same and the top of the range 
increased. Spot loads of NDM are difficult to find in each region and some 
buyers are securing loads from the West region to meet immediate demand. 
Increasing transportation costs are keeping some buyers from looking in the 
West for spot loads. Contacts indicate export demand is steady to strong, 
specifically to Mexico but higher prices are keeping interest from other 
countries low. Milk output is growing in the region, providing more milk 
available for drying but demand from other dairy products such as ultra 
filtered and condensed skim is keeping NDM volumes lower. Prices for high heat 
NDM are higher at the bottom of the range but firm at the top. Demand is steady 
and inventories remain tight. Production of high heat is limited, as dryers 
remain focused on low/medium heat NDM.
