OMAHA (DTN) -- The domestic distillers dried grains (DDG) weekly spot price from the 40 locations DTN contacted was unchanged at $149 per ton for the week ended Jan. 16. Prices were steady on average this week, with an uptick seen in California prices. The weekly Energy Information Administration report showed that, for the week ended Jan. 10, ethanol plant production jumped over 3% after two straight weekly declines.

Based on the average of prices collected by DTN, the value of DDG relative to corn for the week ended Jan. 16 was at 111.10%. The value of DDG relative to soybean meal was at 49.57%. The cost per unit of protein for DDG was $5.52, compared to the cost per unit of protein for soybean meal at $6.33.

In its weekly DDGS export update, the U.S. Grains Council noted, "DDGS markets are still quiet this week with much of the trade watching for the details of the U.S.-China trade agreement. Barge CIF NOLA values are $1 to $2 metric ton (mt) higher this week with winter storms across the Midwest tightening logistics. U.S. rail rates are increasing for the same reason as well. FOB NOLA offers are steady/slightly higher amid moderate international demand. Prices for 40-foot containers to Southeast Asia are $1/mt higher on average this week, with notable price increases for product destined for Vietnam and Thailand."
