   MINNEAPOLIS (DTN) -- The DTN price for domestic distillers dried grains 
(DDG) from 33 locations reporting for the week ended Oct. 10 was steady on 
average at $145 per ton versus one week ago. DDG prices overall were mixed but

to corn for the week ended Oct. 10 was 0.97%. The value of DDG relative to

compared to the cost per unit of protein for soybean meal at $6.68.

   U.S. Grains Council in its weekly DDGS export market prices report showed as 
of Oct. 9, CIF NOLA barge price was at $179 metric ton (mt), up $1 versus one 
week ago, and FOB vessel Gulf price was steady at $195; rail delivered PNW was

August, up from 1,090,004 mt in July and up 19% from a year ago. South Korea

by Mexico and Turkey. In the first eight months of 2024, DDGS exports were up 
15% from a year ago.
