     Casein - National Casein Report for U.S. Imports

     Report 44 - Released on October 31, 2019

     Prices for rennet casein slightly firmed. Acid casein prices are higher. Some buyers noted
     that September 2019 DCANZ reported New Zealand milk output registered below September levels
     last year. With an extra week between the last GDT Event, and the next one, these factors
     led to more buying pressure to lock in supplies before official October milk production data
     is released.

     Restricted, All Mesh Sizes, Conventional, and Edible Casein
