Nonfat Dry Milk - East and Central U.S.

Released on April 16, 2026

In the Central and East regions, prices for low/medium heat nonfat dry milk 
(NDM) increased across the range and mostly price series. Spot loads of 
low/medium heat NDM are trading at prices up to the high-$2.10s and most loads 
are trading at prices above $2. Spot inventories remain tight across the 
country and contacts say spot loads are particularly difficult to find in the 
Central region. Domestic demand is steady and contacts say they continue to 
move loads into Mexico, but interest from purchasers in other countries is 
light. Milk production is steady, but strong demand for condensed skim milk 
from other processors is limiting drying operations from running busier 
schedules. Plant managers report steady low/medium heat NDM production and say 
high heat output is light as they remain focused on meeting current demand for 
low/medium heat. Prices for high heat NDM increased across the range. 
Inventories are tight, and some contacts say they are unable to find spot loads 
this week.
