WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices are unchanged. Sellers report they 
continue to experience pushback from buyers, but market fundamentals are 
generally on the side of firmer pricing. Demand is strong, but some buyers 
are less willing to purchase product priced above the market. Buyers 
seeking WPC 34% to meet certain specifications continue to pay a premium. 
Stocks are committed and mostly tight for WPC 34% that meets infant 
formula specification. Inventories are heavier for producers with other 
types of WPC 34%. International interest is steady this week. Production 
is active. The market undertone is steady.
