MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE - CENTRAL AND WEST                             

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices are mostly steady, but edged slightly 
higher on the top end of the mostly price series. A few manufacturers are 
making offers well above the top end of the mostly. The responses from 
buyers have been mixed so far. In some cases, the processors are running 
into strong headwinds, but in others, buyers have capitulated when the 
WPC34% has specific qualities or transportation options that are 
favorable. Manufacturers report inventories are a little tight. WPC34% 
production is generally steady. However, processors that are able, have 
shifted some production to higher protein concentrations due to a higher 
price point per unit protein. Demand for WPC34% has picked up slightly 
this week.


F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .4900 - .6800  MOSTLY:  .5300 - .5900
