Key Takeaways:
DDGS prices have been pushing higher this summer as corn, soybean meal, and other feedstuff values have surged amid strong export demand and supply concerns. WPI’s models anticipate additional gains for DDGS values heading into early 2027, with FOB plant prices reaching $187/ST by late December, while FOB Gulf values will sit near $300/MT. Those values represent gains of 9.1 and 4.3 percent, respectively, from current values and suggest that domestic and international buyers should seek coverage now for deferred months. WPI’s models anticipate little downside potential over the next four months, but upside gains could be large, making risk management and timely coverage critical for end-users.
