WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices are unchanged. Production is 
relatively steady. Demand from the infant formula market remains strong 
and manufacturers of this type of WPC34% have locked in most of their 
prices at the upper end of the range. Buyers for infant formula producers 
are willing to pay the premiums and are looking for extra loads to assure 
coverage. On the other hand, WPC34% that does not meet infant formula 
requirements is still having a hard time competing against other protein 
sources. Manufacturers are hopeful that WPC34% prices will move higher, 
following the lead of recent nonfat dry milk price increases.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .7500 - 1.2350  MOSTLY:  .8200 - .9950
