The Energy Information Administration reported Wednesday that plant production declined to the lowest level since late February. Total ethanol production declined a second week, falling 33,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 1.003 million bpd last week. Output was 2.9% higher than the same time in 2021, while four-week average output totaled 1.027 million bpd, up 69,000 bpd from four-week period of 2021.
In its weekly DDGS export update, the U.S. Grains Council said: "Barge CIF NOLA and FOB Gulf DDGS values are sharply lower amid improving river navigation and increased barge availability. Barge CIF NOLA DDGS values are down $40 per metric ton (mt) this week for May/June while FOB NOLA offers are down $30/mt at $382 for May shipment. Prices for containerized DDGS into southeast Asia are lower this week following the decline in ocean freight. Brokers indicate offers for 40-foot containers to Southeast Asia are down $30/Mt on average this week at $462 for May, June, and July shipment."
