     Whey Protein Concentrate - Central and Western U.S.

     Report 36 - Released on September 03, 2020

     Whey protein concentrate 34% prices slipped slightly lower at the top of both the price
     range and mostly price series. Weakness in the higher whey protein concentrate markets is
     still putting pressure on WPC 34% prices in some markets. Infant formula and applications
     that require certain brands of WPC34% are independent of those market pressures. Industry
     contacts say market activity is slow. WPC 34% is moving well through contracts, but spot
     sales are slow to develop. WPC34% is available, but favored brands are harder to come by.
     Production is steady.


     Prices for: Central and Western U.S., All First Sales, F.O.B., Extra Grade, Conventional,
     and Edible Whey Protein Concentrate
     Price Range - 34% Protein; $/LB:                       .7000 - 1.0250
     Mostly Range - 34% Protein; $/LB:                      .7200 - .9750
