AMS_1051 MARS

Casein - U.S.

Released on April 09, 2026

No changes in acid casein prices are reported for week 15. Contacts in Oceania 
note demand in the region is steady, while demand from buyers outside of the 
region is strong. Manufacturers are running steady production schedules and 
working to fulfill strong contractual demand. Although stakeholders indicate 
inventories are tightening, spot loads are available.

No changes in rennet casein prices are reported as well for this week. Demand 
in Europe is strong, but more variable from buyers in other regions. 
Stakeholders indicate high transportation costs are partly contributing to some 
of the lighter demand outside of Europe. Manufacturers are running heavy 
production schedules as European milk output continues to be available for 
their utilization. Loads are available to meet spot buyer demands.
