CASEIN - NATIONAL     

Rennet and acid casein prices are steady. It is a quiet time for casein 
markets, due to various factors. The production season in a primary 
producing area, New Zealand, is over. In the EU, home to another primary 
producing area, production is seasonally declining. Most quarter three 
casein deals in both regions have been finalized. A result of this all is 
that very little spot casein is available. With most buyers having covered 
their needs, very little casein spot market interest is evident. The 
casein markets overall are stable.
