MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West                   

MADISON, WI.  February 25, 2016 (REPORT 8)                              

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE - CENTRAL AND WEST                             

Prices for whey protein concentrate 34% are mixed. Spot sales expanded the 
gap between the top and bottom of both the range and mostly price series. 
Some manufacturers note a boost in demand as buyers seek to try to take 
advantage of favorable unit protein values. Production is steady to lower. 
Some manufacturers continue to opt to make higher protein concentrations 
or dry whey rather than WPC34%. Manufacturers report inventories are low, 
and in some cases, uncomfortably tight.


F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .5400 - .7300  MOSTLY:  .5400 - .6200
