DTN Weekly DDG Price Slightly Higher on Average
OMAHA (DTN) -- The average price for domestic distillers dried grains (DDG) from the 40 locations DTN contacted with spot offers for the week ended Dec. 10 was $203 per ton, up $1 on average versus two weeks ago. DDG prices this week were mixed but remained firm amid tight supplies at some plants and strong export demand.
Based on the average of prices collected by DTN, the value of DDG relative to corn for the week ended Dec. 10 was 135.25%, well above the 5-year average of 109%. The value of DDG relative to soybean meal was 53.28% and above the 3-year average of 42%. The cost per unit of protein for DDG was $7.52, compared to the cost per unit of protein for soybean meal at $8.02.
In its weekly export DDGS price report, the U.S. Grains Council wrote, "Brokers report that international demand for DDGS remains strong but logistical snags for container loadings in California are pressuring domestic values. Sources report that some vessels are leaving ports with less than what was booked due to a lack of empty containers. This is causing a backup of product that is now destined for the CIF market. Barge CIF NOLA offers are down $12 per metric ton (mt) for first quarter positions while FOB NOLA offers have fared better, falling just $9 to $10/mt. The container market dynamics are supporting offers for 40-foot containers to Southeast Asia, with offers up $5 to $6/mt for Q1 positions at $321/mt on average."
The Energy Information Administration report Wednesday showed during the week ended Dec. 4 total domestic ethanol inventories climbed to a 27-week high as implied demand eroded further. Ethanol plant production jumped 1.7% to 991,000 barrels per day (bpd), marking the highest level since March 20, but 7.6% lower than the corresponding week in 2019.
