Butter - Central U.S.

Released on May 07, 2025

Cream volumes are available, but some butter makers say ice cream makers are 
increasingly pulling on inventories. Butter makers are running busy production 
schedules, though some report increased demand for cream is pushing multiples 
up from last week. Some processors are freezing butter for use later in the 
year. Spot loads of butter are available for purchasing. Domestic butter demand 
is meeting butter makers' seasonal expectations. Stakeholders say domestic 
butter prices are priced well below internationally produced butter, and this 
is contributing to an uptick in export interest.
