WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices moved higher across the range and the 
bottom of the mostly price series. Much of the available WPC 34% is moving 
through existing contracts and there is little left for spot sales activity. 
Manufacturers report numerous inquiries from a wide range of shoppers. In some 
cases, regular purchasers are approached by other buyers to see if any WPC 34% 
is available. Resales are commonplace above published prices. A few processors 
still report some resistance to prices for WPC 34% that is interchangeable with 
other protein sources. Production is steady to lower. Some manufacturers are 
opting to make higher protein concentrations instead of WPC 34%.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .7625 - 1.0000  MOSTLY:  .8150 - .9000
