MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE - CENTRAL AND WEST                             
                                                                        
The whey protein concentrate 34% range and mostly prices are unchanged to 
lower. A weak nonfat dry milk market and ready availability of WPC 34% 
from various sources continues to beleaguer this market. Some 
manufacturers are taking steps to reduce current WPC 34% production by 
diverting fluid whey to dry whey manufacturing. However, WPC 34% 
production at other sites is ongoing, following the trend of cheese 
production. Inventories are variable from manufacturer to manufacturer. 

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .8400 - 1.1200  MOSTLY:  .8600 - 1.0300
