Nonfat Dry Milk - East and Central U.S.

Released on May 14, 2026

In the Central and East regions, low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) prices 
are unchanged across the range and mostly price series this week. Contacts say 
inventories are tight and spot loads are difficult to find throughout the 
country. Some contacts say recent recalls are likely contributing to tightness 
in the market. Some spot purchasers are only in the market for loads to meet 
their immediate needs. Domestic demand is steady. Export interest remains light 
to most countries, though contacts report strong demand from purchasers in 
Mexico. Some contacts report moving resale loads to Mexico at prices above the 
top of the range. Plant managers say they are running busy schedules, as they 
are working to replenish low/medium heat NDM inventories. Drying schedules are 
focused on low/medium heat NDM, limiting high heat production. The bottom of 
the price range for high heat NDM increased in the Central and East regions 
this week, while prices are unchanged at the top. Demand is steady and spot 
purchasers say loads are difficult to find.
