WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Prices for whey protein concentrate 34% held steady in the range. Some 
lower priced protein sources kept the WPC34% range from coming off the 
bottom. However, the bottom end of the mostly price series moved 
higher. Manufacturers continue to report tight or committed 
inventories and buyers are regularly asking for quotes or to increase 
contracted amounts. Demand for highly desired brands is especially 
strong. Production of WPC34% is steady for most manufacturers. A few 
manufacturers have shifted production to other concentrations within 
the whey protein complex. Some industry contacts suggest higher spot 
sale prices for WPC34% are now reflecting these production trends. 

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .5100 - .7300  MOSTLY:  .6000 - .6200
