Casein - U.S.

Released on July 24, 2025

The price range for acid casein shifted higher this week, while rennet casein 
prices remained steady. Contacts in Oceania say contract purchasers are 
ordering at the higher end of their allotments in the region and spot demand 
for acid casein is picking up in the region. Interest in acid casein from 
purchasers in other regions is steady. Milk output is increasing in Oceania, 
enabling manufacturers to increase their acid casein production. Production 
still lags demand though, keeping acid casein inventories somewhat tight in 
Oceania. Rennet casein demand is light in Europe, but interest from purchasers 
in other regions is steady. Contacts report rennet casein production is limited 
by declining milk output in Europe. Spot loads of rennet casein are available 
to meet current market demands.
