The DTN average DDG spot price was $1 per ton lower for the week ended Nov. 3 at $107 with price declines ranging from $1 to $15 per ton. Of the 37 locations from which DTN collects spot prices, 13 were lower, three were higher than the prior week, and the balance of the prices were unchanged. Merchandisers noted it has been a quiet week so far and prices in some areas drifted lower after last week's rally. Informa Economics said toxin levels in Eastern Corn Belt supplies "continues to be an issue, keeping prices two-tiered with higher toxin material being discounted."

CIF NOLA (New Orleans, Louisiana) prices were lower for the week ended Nov. 3 with November prices down 7 cents to down 4 cents vs. one week ago and are at 145 to 151. There is less buying interest in the Gulf and prices have edged lower, reported Informa. "The lighter buying interest suggests that there could be a modest setback in prices over the next several days. Steady demand from poultry and swine buyers has prevented supplies from being overly burdensome."

There is still no word on any changes to Vietnam's decision to ban U.S. DDG imports in the middle of December after live beetles were found in a shipment. The U.S. Grains Council has said they are currently in talks with Vietnam to establish protocols to deal with the beetles going forward and find a resolution favorable to continue U.S. DDG imports into the country. A merchandiser told DTN there has been plenty of product loaded and shipped to Vietnam ahead of the possible ban, so the impact may not be as bad for the market the rest of this year should the ban become a reality.
