WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE - CENTRAL AND WEST                             

Prices for whey protein concentrate 34% are steady to higher, with the 
bottom of the mostly price series stepping up. Although a few spot sales 
have prices anchored at the bottom of the price range, there is a growing 
gap between the price of those sales and other spot sales. Some buyers 
seem to be searching for WPC34% with specific characteristics and are 
willing to pay more. Demand is steady and a few processors say they have 
heard from brokers looking for more loads of WPC34%. Manufacturers report 
their inventories are tight. Although production is generally steady, a 
few manufacturers have shifted their production to higher whey protein 
concentrations.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .4900 - .6800  MOSTLY:  .5300 - .5800
