MD DA771 Whey Protein Concentrate  - Central and West                   

MADISON, WI.  October 19, 2017 (REPORT 42)                              

WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

The whey protein concentrate 34% price range is unchanged, but the mostly price 
series moved lower. While sporadic spot sales are occurring across the whole of 
the range based on users that can reformulate and those that cannot, the 
general inclination is toward lower prices. Some manufacturers report WPC34% is 
getting harder to move, a trend that is presenting itself throughout the whey 
protein complex. Market participants say manufacturers continue to look closely 
at production cycles and are shifting focus to WPC34% and sweet whey powder in 
lieu of higher protein concentrations. Aside from a few select brands, WPC34% 
is readily available. 

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .7000 - 1.1000  MOSTLY:  .7200 - .8725
