MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE - CENTRAL AND WEST                             
                                                                        
Prices for whey protein concentrate 34% are lower on a weak market. 
Some manufacturers report contract loads have been pushed back by 
buyers. In some instances, buyers are slowing delivering of contract 
loads, but other buyers have determined they no longer need some 
contract loads. Thus, inventories are higher than expected at some 
facilities. Whey protein concentrate 34% production is steady to 
lower. The fluid whey stream at some plants is heading toward dry 
sweet whey production instead of whey protein concentrate, as 
producers try to rebalance WPC 34% interest with near term production 
and current inventories. Other manufacturers report interest is steady 
and inventories are light. Some end users of dried whole and/or egg 
whites are exploring use of whey protein concentrates as a full or 
partial replacement for eggs. 

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .7500 - .9900  MOSTLY:  .7800 - .9500
