Corn Gluten Feed Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
Spain paid the most for corn gluten feed in Q3 2026: USD 238/MT, down 0.8% from USD 240/MT in Q2. Freight costs, import needs and steady demand from dairy and cattle feed makers keep Spanish prices above the other three markets. Worldwide, the average fell 1.4% to USD 207/MT from USD 210/MT, mostly because larger corn supplies and lower prices of competing feeds led millers and importers to lower offers in all four markets. What about Q4 2026? We expect a global average somewhere in the USD 200-215/MT range, with corn prices, wet milling output, prices of soybean meal and demand from cattle and dairy feeders doing most of the work.
Corn gluten feed is a co-product of corn wet milling made from the fiber and steep liquor of the kernel. It contains about 20 percent protein and is used as an energy and fiber source in cattle, dairy and pig feed. Prices in this report refer to pelleted corn gluten feed in bulk and are quoted per metric ton. They depend on corn prices, wet milling output, prices of soybean meal and demand from cattle feeders.
The United States is the largest producer and exporter, followed by China, Brazil and the European Union. Wet mills make the product in large volumes and sell most of it to nearby feedlots, while the rest is pelleted for export. It competes with citrus pulp, soybean hulls and distillers grains, and buyers switch between them as price gaps move.
Corn Gluten Feed Price Forecast for 2026
Prices should ease slightly through the rest of 2026. Corn supplies are large and wet mills run at steady rates, but demand from dairy and cattle feeders limits the size of the decline. The Q3 2026 global average of USD 207/MT is 1.5% above the USD 204/MT of Q3 2025.
The balance of risks for Q4 tilts downward. What could push prices higher? Higher corn or soybean meal prices, lower wet milling output or stronger demand from cattle feeders would lift prices. What could pull them lower? Lower corn prices, larger wet milling output or weaker feed demand would lower prices.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 200 - 215 | Large corn supplies limit prices |
| Brazil | 165 - 180 | Ample local supply keeps prices lowest |
| United States | 180 - 195 | Large wet milling output limits prices |
| China | 215 - 235 | Import costs support prices |
| Spain | 225 - 245 | Freight costs and import needs keep prices highest |
