MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West                   

MADISON, WI.  November 22, 2016 (REPORT 47)                             

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Prices for whey protein concentrate 34% are unchanged this week. Spot sale 
activity is light. Manufacturers with highly desired brands of WPC34% or low 
spore content are often unable to make offers due to active demand from 
existing customers and limited supply. Production is steady, but has been 
displaced by increased manufacture of higher concentration whey proteins. The 
market tone for WPC34% that is interchangeable with other protein sources is 
relatively flat, but the market tone for WPC34% that meets tight product 
specifications is firm. Industry contacts suggest they could sell a lot more 
low spore and tight specification WPC34% if it was more readily available.

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