     Buttermilk - Eastern and Central U.S.

     Report 41 - Released on October 14, 2021

     CENTRAL: The price range for dry buttermilk powder is unchanged amid limited spot trading.
     Production is low, with manufacturers primarily drying buttermilk to fulfill committed
     contracts. Demand for condensed buttermilk is steady, limiting the availability of supplies.
     While production of dry buttermilk is limited, spot inventories are, reportedly, tight. The
     market undertone of dry buttermilk powder is firm.

     EAST: Dry buttermilk prices have held steady this week on light spot trading. Demand is
     light, though spot purchasers say they are having some difficulty obtaining loads of dry
     buttermilk powder. Contacts report a need to look to other regions to find loads and fulfill
     market orders. Supplies of condensed buttermilk are limited as butter operations are,
     reportedly, running shorter production schedules. Dry buttermilk markets are stable.
     Prices for: Eastern and Central U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Conventional, and Edible
     Buttermilk
     Price Range ; $/LB:                                    1.2400 - 1.3100
