     Casein - National Casein Report for U.S. Imports

     Report 2 - Released on January 12, 2023

     Casein prices for both acid and rennet varieties were unchanged this week. Contacts say
     supplies are not showing some of the growth that was expected to come early in the year.
     They also say the bearishness from Southeast Asian importing limits has yet to affect North
     American interest/markets. A growth in production and availability is still expected to come
     in the near term, but markets have yet to pick up much pace, as quiet late Q4 trading
     activity has continued into Q1.
     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:                    6.5000-6.7500
     Rennet; Price Range - $/LB:                  5.7400-6.2000
