Tallow Prices Climb Higher on Tight Supply, Strong Demand

Tallow Prices Climb Higher on Tight Supply, Strong Demand

The tallow market moved sharply higher today, with five cars of packer BFT trading up to 63 cts/lb Chicago for shipment within the 30-day window. This was followed by an afternoon bid at 63 cts/lb Chicago for renderer. Demand is strong from a few different sectors, and material is very tight for low ffa fats due to elevated summer temperatures and a slower slaughter production schedule due to the July 5 holiday. The combination has led to supply tightness in not only BFT but also choice white grease (CWG).
