MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West                   

MADISON, WI.  January 14, 2016 (REPORT 2)                               

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE - CENTRAL AND WEST                             

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices are largely steady this week. However, 
the upper end of the mostly price series moved slightly higher. A few 
processors made spot sales at the top or a little above the mostly price 
series. There continues to be several tiers within the WPC 34% market and no 
tier is fully controlling market prices. Some buyers seem willing to pay a 
premium for product that meets specific characteristics, brand, or location 
parameters. Manufacturers state their inventories are generally 
committed/tight. Production is steady to lower as some processors seek to 
move production to higher protein concentrations. Demand is stable and the 
market tone is unsettled.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .4900 - .6800  MOSTLY:  .4900 - .5800
