Butter - East U.S.

Released on June 04, 2025

Butter churns are operating seven days a week in the Northeast. Cream 
production is sufficient to keep butter production higher than anticipated for 
the start of June. The CME Grade AA butter weekly average increased by more 
than 13 cents last week, to $2.4938. Prices for retail butter are unchanged, 
and sales are increasing some. Steady demand is present from food service and 
bulk butter purchasers. International demand for butter is increasing, and 
contacts are watching trends in the international markets. Stakeholders say 
butter is available for spot purchasing and inventories are balanced. 
Manufacturers are successfully moving butter loads, keeping the strain off of 
warehouses.
