CASEIN - NATIONAL   

Rennet casein prices firmed this week. Acid casein prices are 
steady to firmer. Most casein production is focused on filling 
second quarter contracts. With the milk season in Oceania 
drawing closer to the end, available milk supplies are tighter. 
In Europe, some dairy processors report lower milk deliveries in 
April compared with April last year. This is heightening 
competition for milk supplies between manufacturers of various 
dairy products.
