# Global U.S. Ethanol and DDGS Export Pace Slows at Year End

> The RFA reported that U.S. ethanol exports totaled 1.33 billion gallons in 2020, the fourth-largest volume on record. December shipments slipped 2% to 111.3 million gallons, with stronger buying from South Korea, China and Hong Kong offset by a drop in Brazil after its tariff-rate quota expired. U.S. DDGS exports fell 9% in December to a seven-month low of 842,738 mt, though Mexico and South Korea rose.

## Why it matters

Softer DDGS export pace adds supply pressure on a feed co-product that competes with corn and soymeal in buyers' rations. Stronger Mexican and Korean demand partly cushions the decline.
