Whey Protein Concentrate - Central and West U.S.

Released on June 04, 2026

Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) 34% prices held steady at the lower end of the 
range while increasing modestly at the top, and the mostly range strengthened 
on both ends. Demand remains high, supported in part by elevated nonfat dry 
milk prices. Production is steady and inventories are tight with little to no 
spot load availability. Contracts for Q3 and Q4 are running 3-5 cents over the 
average of the mostly price. WPC 80% is quoted in the mid-$12s to $13 range, 
while whey protein isolate (WPI) is reported around $14. Overall, the market 
tone is firm for all WPCs, reinforced by tight availability and consistently 
strong interest.
