Butter - East U.S.

Released on October 29, 2025

The butter market in the East region is seasonally strong. Plants are operating 
seven days a week, running fresh cream and microfixing. Overall, demand is good 
for retail and food service size packaging. Contacts say the low butter prices 
are helping demand, especially on the food service side. Cream contract loads 
are sufficient to keep up with butter demand. Spot loads of cream for churns 
were not reported this week. International demand is holding steady. Inventory 
levels of bulk and retail butter are increasing. The weekly cold storage report 
indicates an increase in butter stocks this week.
