Dry Whey - West U.S.

Released on December 04, 2025

Dry whey prices are higher at the bottom ends of the range and mostly price 
series in the West. The top ends of the range and mostly price series are 
unchanged. Demand from domestic and international buyers is steady. Spot load 
availability continues to be tight for the most part. Some West region buyers 
are securing loads from outside the region due to spot load unavailability or 
backed up orders from manufacturers in the region. Cheese manufacturers are 
back in gear with all aspects of the cheese production process this 
post-holiday week, which is providing stronger liquid whey volumes for drying. 
Dry whey production schedules vary from steady to stronger.

Price Range - Non-Hygroscopic; Dollars per Pound: 0.65 - 0.755
