Dry Whey - Europe

Released on March 12, 2026

European prices for dry whey increased across the range this reporting period. 
Demand is strong in the region, but contacts report international conflicts and 
rising shipping costs are negatively impacting demand from purchasers in other 
regions. Spot loads of dry whey are available, but inventories are somewhat 
snug. Milk output is strong in Europe, allowing cheesemakers to run busy 
schedules and leaving plenty of whey for drying. Dry whey production is steady 
but limited somewhat as drying schedules are focused on whey protein 
concentrates.

Prices for: West Europe, All First Sales, Free on Board - Port, Edible Dry Whey
Price Range - Non-Hygroscopic; Dollars per Metric Ton: 1250 - 1525
