MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West                   

MADISON, WI.  February 19, 2015 (REPORT 7)                              

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE - CENTRAL AND WEST                             
                                                                        
Whey protein concentrate 34% prices are unchanged to lower on the range 
and mostly price series. The market tone is weak. The lag in shipping 
loads off the west coast continues to frustrate domestic sellers and 
international buyers. Those delays, coupled with a strong US dollar, have 
buyers looking to EU suppliers for near term needs. WPC 34% production 
schedules vary from steady to higher as some whey stream volumes are 
diverted away from higher protein end products and into WPC 34% and/or dry 
whey. WPC 34% inventories are steady to building. 

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .9000 - 1.2600  MOSTLY:  .9500 - 1.2250
