Butter - East U.S.

Released on October 01, 2025

Cream is readily available throughout the region. Contacts continue to mention 
the overall increase in milk components. The seasonal increase in production is 
contributing to larger volumes of milk and cream. Butter production remains 
steady to stronger in the region. Churns are operating at near capacity, 
predominantly focused on retail size packaging. With the lower CME prices, many 
manufacturers are limiting bulk butter production. Many producers are busy 
fulfilling holiday orders. Export demand remains steady. Inventory levels are 
lower than the beginning of the month, but healthy, with no cause for concern.
