Casein - U.S.

Released on May 29, 2025

Prices for acid casein pushed higher again this week. Milk output is declining 
seasonally in Oceania and drought in parts of the region has pushed production 
below May 2024. Contacts say this is limiting acid casein production in 
Oceania. Demand for acid casein is light within Oceania, but contacts say 
international interest is strengthening week to week. Spot acid casein 
inventories are tight, and contacts say loads are getting more difficult to 
obtain. Rennet casein prices also increased this week. Contacts in Europe say 
demand within the region is steady but is increasing internationally. Spot 
rennet casein inventories are somewhat snug, but more available than acid 
casein. Rennet casein production is steady.
