DCA benchmarks: Protein commentary week 34

DCA whey protein benchmarks remained firm in week 34, with limited liquidity continuing to shape both WPC80 and WPI90 markets. While WPC80 prices eased slightly, WPI90 benchmarks reached a new record high. Overall trading activity remains subdued, with most fourth-quarter demand already covered and producer capacity constrained. Meanwhile, MPC is increasingly being considered as a more competitively priced alternative in protein formulations.
