AMS_1090 MARS

Butter - East U.S.

Released on December 10, 2025

The Northeast region is experiencing a larger than expected amount of butter 
production. Churns are operating seven days a week. Cream is readily available 
for purchase on the spot, however, some facilities are not taking in extra 
cream and are instead choosing to microfix butter into retail size packaging. 
Retail sales are seasonally strong with many consumers taking advantage of 
lower butter prices. Food service and bulk production are steady to light. 
Butter inventories are healthy, but some contacts are only keeping enough 
butter in their inventory to meet demand. Export demand of 82% butterfat butter 
destined for Europe is strong.
