Casein - U.S.

Released on August 21, 2025

Prices for both acid casein and rennet casein moved higher on both ends of the 
range this week. Stakeholders indicate demand is putting some upward pressure 
on prices, particularly with acid casein. However, stakeholders also note US 
trade policies are lightening the sales activity of both acid and rennet casein 
loads for buyers and/or sellers in some cases. 

Acid casein demand varies from steady to stronger. Acid casein production is 
stronger, with seasonally increasing Oceania milk production. 

Rennet casein demand is steady for the most part. Rennet casein production is 
lighter, with seasonally decreasing European milk production.
