Fiber Oil Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
China paid the most for fiber oil in Q3 2026: USD 1,250/MT, up 1.4% from USD 1,233/MT in Q2. Import needs, freight costs and steady demand from feed and oleochemical makers keep Chinese prices above the other three markets. Worldwide, the average rose 1.3% to USD 1,130/MT from USD 1,115/MT, mostly because higher corn and energy costs and firm demand from feed and biofuel makers led ethanol plants and importers to raise prices in all four markets. What about Q4 2026? We expect a global average somewhere in the USD 1,100-1,190/MT range, with corn prices, ethanol output, vegetable oil prices, demand from feed and biofuel makers and freight costs doing most of the work.
Fiber oil is a lower grade oil recovered from the fiber part of corn at ethanol plants, often called corn fiber oil, or from palm fruit fiber. It is used in animal feed, as a feedstock for biofuel and in industrial oleochemicals. Prices in this report refer to corn fiber oil in bulk and are quoted per metric ton. They depend on corn prices, vegetable oil prices and demand from feed and biofuel makers.
Ethanol plants in the United States and Canada separate the fiber from the corn mash and extract the oil with a press or a solvent. Supply follows ethanol output rather than demand for the oil. Buyers include feed makers, biofuel producers and oleochemical firms, and importers in Europe and Asia buy cargoes. Prices follow soybean oil and corn oil with a discount for the higher free fatty acid content.
Fiber Oil Price Forecast for 2026
Prices should rise modestly through the rest of 2026. Corn and energy costs are firm and demand from feed and biofuel makers is steady. Ample ethanol output limits the size of the increase. Year on year, the global average has moved from USD 1,084/MT to USD 1,130/MT, an increase of 4.2%.
For Q4, risks to the price are evenly spread. What could push prices higher? Higher vegetable oil prices, lower ethanol output or stronger biofuel demand would lift prices. What could pull them lower? Lower vegetable oil prices, higher ethanol output or weaker demand from feed makers would lower prices.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 1,100 - 1,190 | Firm corn and energy costs support a modest rise |
| United States | 995 - 1,075 | Large ethanol output keeps prices lowest |
| Canada | 1,045 - 1,130 | Ample supply limits prices |
| Netherlands | 1,150 - 1,245 | Import costs support prices |
| China | 1,220 - 1,320 | Import needs and freight costs keep prices highest |
