# DDGS supply lowers protein feed prices in India, boosting feed mill profits

> Indian feed manufacturers report low protein ingredient prices due to abundant DDGS supply from rapidly expanding corn and rice ethanol output. DDGS now supplies a large share of the protein feed segment, and the average price of protein feeds in India was USD 124 per tonne as of Oct. 15. Analysts expect the weak protein market to persist for four to six months.

## Why it matters

Heavy Indian DDGS supply is displacing soybean meal and other protein ingredients, keeping protein feed prices subdued and capping export opportunities for soymeal into the region.
