     Whey Protein Concentrate - Central and Western U.S.

     Report 40 - Released on October 01, 2020

     The whey protein concentrate 34% price range is unchanged, but the mostly price series
     narrowed. Industry contacts say they are seeing more interest from buyers as supplies of
     inexpensive higher whey protein get used up. In addition, price increases in the nonfat dry
     milk market are giving some support to WPC 34% prices. WPC 34% seems to be moving well
     through current contracts. Most manufacturers suggest they are comfortable with their
     supplies. A few processors say some customers keep asking to increase contracted shipments
     and that may necessitate the need to juggle shipping dates and loads later this fall.
     Production is steady.
