MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West                   

MADISON, WI.  April 02, 2015 (REPORT 13)                                

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE - CENTRAL AND WEST                             
                                                                        
Prices for whey protein concentrate 34% are lower on the range and unchanged 
to lower on the mostly price series. The WPC 34% market is mixed, with 
weakness for those loads competing with readily available edible/off spec NDM 
clearing into animal feed end uses. WPC 34% loads destined for the edible 
market are in somewhat tighter supply. Some manufacturers are maintaining 
customary overages to the market while others are simply holding with 
confidence that their customer base will consume holdings within the near 
term. Production of WPC 34% is active as cheese orders are plentiful ahead of 
the holidays. Inventories are variable, ranging from steady to building.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .8400 - 1.1500  MOSTLY:  .8800 - 1.0500
