MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices are steady to lower. The bottom end of 
the mostly price series moved down while other prices held generally 
steady. The WPC34% market and tone remain split, as they have been for 
many months. A few manufacturers are able to hold prices at the top end of 
the range and mostly price series. They report a firm market tone and 
solid demand for available loads of WPC34% that meet stringent end user 
requirements. Other manufacturers are feeling price pressures from the 
nonfat dry milk market and other protein sources. The recent downturn of 
NDM prices has added to the pressure felt within the stagnant WPC34% 
market. Production is relatively steady and inventories are not 
necessarily burdensome. However, demand is light for WPC34% that is 
interchangeable with other protein sources.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .7500 - 1.2350  MOSTLY:  .8000 - .9950
