MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices are mixed, moving higher at the bottom 
of the range and top of the mostly price series, but lower at the bottom 
of the mostly price series. There continues to be a wide range of reported 
spot sale prices. Overall, WPC34% production is down from previous years. 
Although a few manufacturers are actively producing WPC34%, many buyers 
are finding extra loads hard to find, especially for highly desired brands 
and WPC34% that meets tight buyer specifications. Demand for some brands 
of WPC34% is good and buyers are eager to establish contracts for future 
deliveries. However, some WPC34% producers report their markets are 
constrained by lower value nonfat dry milk or other protein sources and 
are not able to command the premiums reported by some other manufacturers.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .6300 - .8750  MOSTLY:  .7300 - .8300
