Casein - U.S.

Released on August 27, 2026

Prices for acid casein are holding steady across the range. In Oceania, demand 
is strengthening but interest from purchasers in other regions is unchanged. 
Milk output is trending higher in Oceania, contributing to increased acid 
casein production. Spot inventories remain somewhat snug, but loads are 
becoming more available.

Rennet casein prices are also unchanged this week. Demand for rennet casein is 
declining seasonally in Europe, while interest from purchasers in other regions 
is unchanged. Spot inventories remain tight, as most manufacturers are focusing 
production schedules on fulfilling contractual obligations. Declining seasonal 
milk output is negatively impacting rennet casein production.
