OMAHA (DTN) -- The domestic distillers dried grains (DDG) weekly spot price from the 40 locations DTN contacted was down $1 on average at $147 per ton for the week ended Feb. 6. Prices are mixed again this week, and with the lack of extreme cold weather in much of the Midwest, demand has slowed.

Based on the average of prices collected by DTN, the value of DDG relative to corn for the week ended Feb. 6 was at 108.53%. The value of DDG relative to soybean meal was at 51.00%. The cost per unit of protein for DDG was $5.44, compared to the cost per unit of protein for soybean meal at $6.07.

In its weekly DDGS export update the U.S. Grains Council noted, DDGS markets were mixed this week with Barge CIF NOLA and FOB NOLA offers softening slightly while U.S. rail rates are up $1 to $4 per metric ton (mt). Demand from buyers in Asia is increasing with noted strength in prices for 40-foot containers to certain destinations. In particular, values for DDGS to Thailand are up $10/mt for March and April shipment while offers for product to Vietnam are up $4 to $6/mt. On average, DDGS containers to Southeast Asia are up $3 to $4/mt for March and April shipment, with prices averaging $247/mt."

The U.S. Census Bureau said Wednesday that U.S. exports of DDGS totaled 767,682 mt in December, down from 911,569 mt in November and down 12% from a year ago. Mexico was the top destination in December, taking 19% and followed by South Korea, Indonesia and Vietnam. For all of 2019, U.S. exports of DDGS were down 9% from a year ago.
