Dry Buttermilk - West U.S.

Released on January 29, 2026

Dry buttermilk prices increased at both ends of the range and mostly price 
series in the West this week. Domestic demand is stronger. Demand from 
international buyers is steady. Inventories remain tight, according to 
manufacturers. Traders specifically report no changes in dry buttermilk spot 
load availability this week but express that dairy powders are generally snug. 
Dry buttermilk production schedules are not robust, despite plenty of liquid 
buttermilk from busy butter churns working through  cream volumes. Open dryer 
time for dry buttermilk production is tight in some parts of the region.
