# Price gets in the whey of Indians' daily protein fix

> International whey protein concentrate (WPC80) prices have started falling after a multi-year rally, with European WPC80 at €16,000-17,000 per tonne as producers release inventory and buyers delay purchases. Indian whey concentrate prices remain high at 2,000-2,300 per kg, well above pre-2024 levels, due to tight inventories and import costs.
