MD_DA751 Casein - National Casein Report for U.S. Imports Report 37 - Released on September 16, 2021 Casein and caseinates remain very tight. Most prices were steady, with the exception of a slight increase on the top of the acid casein range. Acid casein contacts say they continue to work toward Q4 negotiations. Some producers say rennet casein production (and therefore availability) will likely not increase until early 2022. Markets are notably bullish, and with continued domestic and Southeast Asian interests, contacts expect bulls to remain.
