     Whey Protein Concentrate - Central and Western U.S.

     Report 25 - Released on June 18, 2020

     Whey protein concentrate 34% prices moved lower across both the price range and mostly price
     series. WPC 34% production is steady, but availability varies greatly depending on brand.
     Brands of WPC34% that meet infant formula or other stringent end user requirements are
     highly committed. But, WPC34% that is more interchangeable with other dairy protein sources
     is more available. Industry contacts report demand also varies. Manufacturers of preferred
     brands suggest they could sell a lot more WPC34% if they had it on hand. However,
     interchangeable WPC34% demand is lackluster. Furthermore, weaker market prices and large
     supplies of higher whey protein concentrations may erode markets for the substitutable
     WPC34%.
