     Casein - National Casein Report for U.S. Imports

     Report 14 - Released on April 07, 2022

     Casein prices were mostly steady this week, with the only price change being an increase on
     the bottom of the rennet casein price range. Market tones are somewhat quiet, based on
     limited casein availability in Europe, New Zealand, and South America. South American
     production is being pulled between rennet and acid processing due to continued demand for
     both varieties. In New Zealand, production is steady week to week, but based upon tighter
     overall milk availability. Overall, casein market tones remain on terra firma, based on
     demand pulls from both U.S. and global customers and generally lighter milk supplies across
     the continents.

     The DMN monthly average price for rennet casein in March was $5.1122, compared to $4.999 in
     February. The March average price for acid casein was $6.4363, compared to $5.9440 in
     February.
