Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, has decided to amend the methodology for its DDGS assessments by adding a Profat, combined protein and fat, specification to the following assessments, from Sept. 5.
Platts will further define the quality specification with the addition of a 34% profat minimum quality specification to the Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles assessments.
The minimum Profat specification will be included in addition to individual minimum levels for protein and fat, which are unchanged for both assessments:
This decision follows a proposal note published July 14, available here(opens in a new tab).
Feedback indicated that market participants typically specify a Profat quality specification during their market activity, in addition to minimum levels for protein and fat. Feedback has also showed that the majority of production volumes, as well as standard trading practices, are now based on a 34% Profat minimum.
