Casein - U.S.

Released on June 04, 2026

The price range for acid casein is unchanged this week. Contacts in Oceania 
report strong contract demand for Q3 and say spot interest is steady. Spot 
inventories are somewhat snug. Contacts say declining milk output in Oceania is 
contributing to lighter acid casein production. Plant managers are focusing 
their production schedules on meeting contractual demands.

Rennet casein prices are unchanged at the bottom of the range but increased at 
the top. Demand for rennet casein is strong in Europe. Production schedules 
remain geared toward fulfilling contractual obligations, leaving few loads 
available for spot purchasers. Spot inventories of rennet casein are tight in 
Europe.
