Butter - East U.S.

Released on December 03, 2025

Churn activity in the Northeast is busier than many expected following a major 
holiday. Many facilities are operating churns seven days a week. There are some 
facilities purchasing spot loads of cream to keep up with demand, while other 
facilities are choosing to micro fix bulk butter. Retail demand for butter is 
strong, with consumers taking advantage of lower prices on the retail shelves. 
Butter inventories are balanced with manufacturers having little to no issue 
maintaining stock. Export demand is currently light.
