Dry Whey - West U.S.

Released on October 02, 2025

Prices for dry whey are unchanged in the West this week. Domestic demand is 
steady to lighter, as some purchasers are hesitant to secure more loads than 
necessary for immediate use, due to current prices. International interest is 
light. Contacts report whey produced domestically remains priced at a premium 
compared to loads produced internationally. Both tight inventories and limited 
production are providing support to current dry whey prices, despite lighter 
spot trading this week. Plant managers continue focusing production schedules 
on higher whey protein concentrates and whey protein isolate. This is keeping 
dry whey production light overall, but contacts say output is steady 
week-to-week.
