MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices stepped lower at the bottom of the 
range and the top of the mostly price series. A few manufacturers have 
locked into steady production, demand and prices for their highly desired 
brands of WPC34%. However, some other processors and end users report 
transactions at lower prices, driven by price pressures from other 
interchangeable proteins, such as NDM. A few manufacturers also looked to 
clear out blocks of inventory. Stocks of WPC34% have grown a little as 
overall demand has waned. Production is generally steady. Some market 
participants note an overall weak market tone throughout the whey protein 
complex and wonder how this will impact WPC34% production and prices going 
forward.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .7400 - 1.2350  MOSTLY:  .8000 - .9800
