Casein - U.S.

Released on September 10, 2026

Acid casein prices are holding steady this week. Contacts in Oceania say demand 
is strengthening in the region, while interest from purchasers in other regions 
is unchanged. Milk output continues to pick up in Oceania, and plant managers 
say they are running busier acid casein production schedules. Spot purchasers 
say spot loads are available in the region.

Prices for rennet casein are also unchanged this week. Declining seasonal milk 
output is negatively impacting production for many dairy products in Europe, 
including rennet casein. This is contributing to lighter demand for rennet 
casein from other dairy processors in the region. Contacts in Europe say 
interest from purchasers in other regions is steady. Manufacturers continue to 
focus production schedules on meeting contractual obligations, keeping spot 
inventories somewhat tight.
