     Whey Protein Concentrate - Central and Western U.S.

     Report 26 - Released on June 30, 2022

     Aside from a small increase at the top of the price range, whey protein concentrate 34%
     prices are unchanged this week. While WPC 34% that is interchangeable with other dairy
     proteins is generally available, demand for this type of WPC 34% is quiet. On the other
     hand, there is an active interest for WPC 34% that meets infant formula or sports nutrition
     requirements, but supplies are tight. WPC 34% production is steady to lower. As milk
     production declines seasonally and the strong pull from higher whey protein concentration
     production continues, the amount of whey solids available for WPC 34% is also lower.


     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:                       1.5500 - 2.0075
     Mostly Range - 34% Protein; $/LB:                      1.7500 - 1.9150
