# Corn-oil output grows much faster than ethanol mills' grain intake

> USDA's November 2 report showed September corn distillers oil output of 201,600 short tons, up 17.3% from a year earlier, while corn used for dry-mill fuel alcohol rose 1.6%. FXNews reconstructed oil yield per input bushel at about 0.99 pound, up about 15% year on year, using ERS's allocation method.

## Why it matters

Rising corn oil supply from ethanol plants adds to vegetable oil availability, which can pressure soybean oil and palm oil prices at the margin. The effect depends on the reconstructed estimate, which is not an official yield series, so the signal is limited.
