Dry Buttermilk - West U.S.

Released on April 02, 2026

Momentum continued in week 14 for dry buttermilk prices with both ends of the 
range and mostly price series increasing. Domestic demand is stronger. Demand 
from international buyers is steady. Spot loads are somewhat more available 
this week. Some manufacturers and distributors indicate dry buttermilk 
production for covering contractual obligations is slightly ahead to start Q2. 
Heavily active butter production is leaving plenty of liquid buttermilk for 
driers. However, dry buttermilk generally remains less of a priority than 
nonfat dry milk, if open drier time is a limiting factor.
