MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices moved higher at the bottom of both the 
range and mostly price series, driven by spot sales from a small number of 
manufacturers. Some availability of edible WPC34% exists for product that is 
interchangeable with other protein sources, but industry contacts note that 
those alternatives are also getting cleaned up. Availability of WPC34% is 
limited by more production of higher protein concentrations. Many processors 
are unable to make spot offers, especially for low spore and higher 
specification WPC34%. Processors who can make offers often request premium 
prices well above the mostly. Buyers are still looking for available loads, but 
are often frustrated by the short supply.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .6700 - .9850  MOSTLY:  .7800 - .8300
