     Casein - National Casein Report for U.S. Imports

     Report 11 - Released on March 14, 2019

     Rennet and acid casein prices are steady this week.

      There was no gdt event to inject that dimension of information and pricing into the
     markets. The milk production season in Oceania is winding down just as production in Western
     Europe is increasing. It is a time of flux as to where sourcing is most readily available
     for buyers with some flexibility as to regional production preferences.

      Buyers who prefer New Zealand are likely to have contracted through this casein production
     season. This leaves a low level of market activity, which did not cause prices to change.
     Prices for: Spot Sales And Up to 3 Month Contracts, Free on Board - Warehouse, Non-
     Restricted, All Mesh Sizes, Conventional, and Edible Casein

     Acid; Price Range - $/LB:                    3.0250-3.1450
     Rennet; Price Range - $/LB:                  2.5275-2.6325
