MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Whey protein concentrate 34% prices moved lower at the bottom of the range 
driven by spot sales activity and price pressures from other interchangeable 
protein sources. The top of the range and both ends of the mostly prices 
series, however, remain unchanged. A few manufacturers with differentiated 
products and tight inventories are able to hold firm on premium pricing. 
Other reported spot sales are distributed across the breadth of the price 
range. Demand is weak, except for highly desired brands. Stocks are much more 
available for WPC34% that can be substituted by other protein sources. 
Manufacturers report production is steady to higher for most WPC34%. However, 
production is still not high enough to meet demand and build inventories for 
WPC34% that meets tight customer specifications and is not easily supplanted.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .7200 - 1.1850  MOSTLY:  .8300 - .9550
