MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West                   

MADISON, WI.  January 29, 2015 (REPORT 4)                               

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE - CENTRAL AND WEST 

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices were mostly lower on a weak market. 
Some manufacturers cleared out inventories to more manageable levels, 
moving spot loads at discounted rates. Production levels are steady for 
the most part with some varying decisions on whey steams for WPC 34%, WPC 
80%, and whey protein isolate.  Blenders are mostly bargain shopping with 
preference on bags over totes. Buyer interest for infant formula WPC 34% 
is moderate. Exports are ongoing, but not to the degree of a year ago.                           
                                                                        
F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .8950 - 1.3175  MOSTLY: 1.0200 - 1.2550
