# Export Outlook for U.S. DDGS Challenging, but Promising

> At the 22nd Annual Distillers Symposium, the US Grains Council said China remains the biggest obstacle for DDGS exports. China's 2017 anti-dumping duties of 42.2% to 53.7% plus anti-subsidy tariffs effectively ended most shipments, and exports fell to 739,000 metric tons in 2017. Other markets, including Mexico and Vietnam, are taking more of the product.

## Why it matters

Lost Chinese demand caps DDGS prices and pushes exporters toward other buyers, which keeps DDGS values under pressure relative to corn and meal.
