# Global Whey Prices Fall as India's Domestic Costs Remain High

> International whey protein concentrate (WPC80) prices are falling, with European quotes dropping to €16,000-17,000 per tonne and US prices declining to $20.30 per kg. Indian domestic whey prices remain elevated at 2,000-2,300 per kg, supported by robust demand and tight inventories.

## Why it matters

Lower international whey prices weaken the cost of a protein ingredient used in feed and food, while India's reliance on imports for 90% of supplement-grade whey keeps domestic prices high. Global whey softness is bearish for dry whey values, with import dependence and freight costs limiting the pass-through to Indian buyers.
