MD_DA751 Casein - National Casein Report for U.S. Imports Report 9 - Released on March 02, 2023 As recovery efforts from Cyclone Gabrielle go forward in New Zealand, the damage to pasture and crops is far from being tallied. Prime milking season is toward its tail end in the region. Casein contacts, though, have said they were expecting a quieter market prior to the flood/damages on New Zealand's North Island and that has been the case for the past few weeks. Prices for both acid and rennet casein were unchanged for the second consecutive week. Some contacts expect quiet markets for the remainder of 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: 6.1500-6.3500 Rennet; Price Range - $/LB: 5.7400-6.0000 Information for the period February 27 - March 3, 2023, issued weekly Published by: Dairy Market News - Madison, WI ISRAEL WEBER, 608-422-8601 Email: israel.weber@usda.gov Additional Dairy Market News Information: Dairy Market News (DMN) by Phone: (608)422-8602 DMN Website: https://www.ams.usda.gov/market-news/dairy DMN MARS (My Market News): https://mymarketnews.ams.usda.gov
