U.S. ethanol exports fell 38% in February 2021 to 101.7 million gallons after a record January, with South Korea becoming the top market. U.S. DDGS exports dropped 15% month on month to 779,324 metric tons, with Mexico at a five-month low.
Lower DDGS export volumes mean more co-product supply stays in the domestic feed market, a modest bearish pressure on DDGS prices and a small drag on corn-based ethanol co-product demand.
