MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Between the winter holidays, whey protein concentrate 34% prices held steady. 
Although some buyers are actively searching for loads of WPC34%, available 
product that meets their specifications is proving hard to find. Spot market 
activity is limited due to tight inventories for WPC34%. Resellers are active 
when they can acquire available loads of WPC34%, but many manufacturers say 
their stocks of WPC34% are already highly committed. Production is gradually 
being reduced by processors choosing to make higher concentrations of whey 
protein in lieu of WPC34%. A few manufacturers report having some WPC34% 
available, and they describe market demand as being flat for their WPC34% that 
is interchangeable with other protein sources.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .7800 - 1.0000  MOSTLY:  .8150 - .9500
