MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West                   

MADISON, WI.  September 22, 2016 (REPORT 38)                            

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices are mixed. The bottom of the price 
range slid a half cent lower, while the mostly price series crept higher. 
Demand is robust and buyers are looking for WPC 34%. Some end users are 
finding blocks of inventory hard to find. Many manufacturers indicate 
their stocks are committed and they have limited spot load availability. A 
few manufacturers, however, say they have some WPC 34% available that does 
not meet high end product specifications and is facing stiff competition 
from other inexpensive protein sources. Production is steady to lower as 
some manufacturers are shut down for repairs and maintenance, and others 
are shifting to higher protein concentrations in lieu of WPC34%.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .5950 - .8750  MOSTLY:  .6800 - .7875
