MD_DA751 Casein - National Casein Report for U.S. Imports Report 32 - Released on August 11, 2022 Prices for acid and rennet casein are steady again this week. Contacts say despite bearish global market values for other dairy commodities, milk availability and casein processing limitations have kept markets notably tight. These conditions, in turn, have kept values intact, particularly compared to skim milk and whole milk powders on the global trading stage. Contractual discussions for the final quarter are underway, but the aforementioned issues are expected to create some adjustments when compared to quarterly negotiations from previous years, as both buyers and sellers are acutely aware of a unique market situation for both casein varieties. 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: 6.7000-7.2000 Rennet; Price Range - $/LB: 5.4500-5.7800 Information for the period August 8 - 12, 2022, 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
