OMAHA (DTN) -- Distillers dried grains spot prices from the 40 locations DTN contacted were mixed, but on average were $2 per ton lower versus one week ago at $132 per ton for the week ended Sept. 13.

Based on the average of prices collected by DTN, the value of DDG relative to corn for the week ended Sept. 13 was at 109.91%. The value of DDG relative to soybean meal was at 42.40%. The cost per unit of protein for DDG was $4.89, compared to the cost per unit of protein for soybean meal at $6.55.

DDG and all corn byproduct feed prices came under pressure Wednesday after the December corn futures lost 14 cents in the front month thanks to USDA predicting a record crop, way above market expectations. DDG supplies are still in good shape even after a slowdown in ethanol production last week. EIA said plant production slid 67,000 bpd to 1.020 million bpd during the week ended Sept. 7, 2.6% lower than the corresponding week in 2017.

In its weekly DDGS price update, the U.S. Grains Council noted, "DDGS prices were generally down across the board; FOB Gulf indications fell $3/mt while container rates to Southeast Asia fell $4/mt on average. Prices fell for 40-foot containers to Vietnam (-$5/mt), Thailand (-$3/mt) and Indonesia (-$3/mt); in turn, merchandisers report a flurry of buying activity in those markets. Finally, USDA reported that exports of U.S. DDGS are up 2.2% year-over-year in 2017/2018 to 10.5 mmt."
