April 2003 - A Special Multi-Client Study

Corn Processing Co-Products: 

Where Will Increasing Output Be Consumed?
And at What Prices?

 

Following the emergence of the U.S. corn refining industry, the ethanol industry has become the primary driver of demand growth for corn over the last decade, with ethanol now accounting for almost 10% of domestic corn utilization. Moreover, legislation that has been proposed and stands a strong chance of passing would again double ethanol production to 5 billion gallons by 2012. While this growth is generally welcomed by the agriculture sector, sales of the ever-larger volumes of coproducts of corn processing are becoming a “make-or-break” issue. The need for marketing and distribution of these products will create challenges for some firms and opportunities for others. Much of the co-product volume is in the form of feed ingredients, for which traditional export outlets (mainly the European Union) have become much less attractive. This new study will assess in detail the volumes of current and future supplies of co-products, the realities of the domestic markets for such products, the potential for opening up new export markets, the geography of supply/demand and ultimately the implications for co-product prices and corn processing margins.
