Prices for western dry buttermilk are higher on the range and 
mostly series. Higher NDM pricing is pulling up dry buttermilk 
prices. In addition, the value of butterfat is improving. Dry 
buttermilk processing is trending lower as most condensed 
buttermilk volumes are moving into ice cream production. 
Consequently, inventories are getting tight. The market 
undertone is firming. Demands from bakers and dry mix processors 
are steadily improving.

The June 2016 Dairy Market News monthly average for the West dry 
buttermilk mostly series is $0.7023 compared to $0.8175 a year 
ago. 

The NASS Dairy Products report noted U.S. dry buttermilk 
production during May 2016 totaled 8.8 million pounds, 0.5 
percent higher than a year ago. Total U.S. dry buttermilk month-
ending stocks for May were 24.1 million pounds, 1.7 percent 
above last year.
