WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices are higher. Although a few spot sales 
are still occurring at the bottom of the price range, prices for WPC34% 
used in both infant formula applications and other uses continue to see 
gains. Resellers are active and say they could sell more WPC34% if it was 
available. Inventories are generally tight and highly committed. WPC34% 
production is lower than previous years', while demand is steady. Some 
manufacturers report getting inquiries from buyers outside their usual 
contacts, and their current buyers are asking to increase their order 
volumes for next year. Many industry contacts suggest the market tone for 
WPC34% is bullish.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .6150 - .8750  MOSTLY:  .7400 - .8200
