WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE - CENTRAL AND WEST                             
                                                                        
In light trading, whey protein concentrate 34% prices are steady. The 
market tone remains mixed, depending on the end use being fulfilled. Sales 
into the human food chain are active, with upticks in interest from infant 
nutrition manufacturers and others. However, sales of edible WPC 34% into 
the animal feed sector are sluggish as competition from higher protein, 
off-specification whey proteins, and/or nonfat dry milk are available at 
competitive prices. Inventories are mixed and range from no loads 
available to loads readily available. Production is ongoing, in step with 
active cheese production. 

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .8000 - 1.1000  MOSTLY:  .8400 - 1.0200
