MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices moved significantly higher. 
Manufacturers report multiple inquiries from buyers who are eager to gobble 
up any extra load of WPC34% that may be available. Industry-wide inventories 
continue to be tight. WPC34% production is steady to lower. A few 
manufacturers are using the whey solids for part of their internal needs. 
Others have systematically moved away from WPC34% production to higher whey 
protein concentrations. The end result is less WPC34% to meet the steady 
demand of WPC34% end users. The December 2016 Dairy Market News average of 
the mostly price series for Central and West whey protein concentrate 34% 
was $0.8608 compared to $0.7961 one month ago and $0.5300 one year ago.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .8000 - 1.0325  MOSTLY:  .8500 - .9825
