The market for whey protein concentrate 34% continues to be weak. Some 
demand has recently surfaced and a few spot sales have occurred. The 
mostly prices moved lower, while the range narrowed. The lower end of the 
range moved up as previously recorded sales cleared and spot sales resumed 
at higher prices. There were a few inquiries from buyers at low prices 
that were not accepted. Industry contacts suggest inventories for WPC34% 
are long and building across the industry. Some manufacturers have been 
able to move product through regular contracts and keep their inventories 
in check. Production has been steady and in parallel with milk intakes for 
cheese production.
